I began working in my church nursery when I was 13, caring for babies and toddlers, and continued most weeks until 18, when I moved to Decatur for college. I have two much younger siblings, currently 9 and 11, who I have cared for growing up, and continue to babysit regularly whenever home. I have also cared for a newborn recently on a regular basis for the past 5 months, and have had the honor of seeing him develop since January into a roly-poly happy baby. In addition to my babysitting experience, I have also gained experience working with children in a school setting via a year long internship at The Howard School, a school for children with language-based learning differences and disabilities. Working as a support teacher in the After-Care program, primarily in the lower school but also working with middle school occasionally, I supervised appropriate non-violent play activities, Read more distributed snacks, organized games, and aiding in resolving conflicts among students. I truly love working with children and find it incredibly rewarding work. I hope to pursue a MSW after graduation, and plan to work with foster children and children in insecure housing situations professionally. I have received First Aid and CPR certifications in the past, and will be renewing these certifications later this month. I will be glad to provide proof of certification after renewal.
