My experience working with and caring for children dates back to my teenage years as a neighborhood baby sitter. However, throughout college and in my early professional years I have continued to work with children of all ages in a variety of capacities. Most recently, I worked as a health educator in the Chicago Public School system. As a health educator I worked with students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Health classes would feature a variety of health topics, from self-esteem to anatomy. I loved working with my students, and watching them learn. Prior to working as a health educator, I volunteered at an after school program for city youth in Baltimore, MD as an urban garden assistant. As an assistant to the teacher, I empowered students by helping them prepare and grow their own garden. I helped facilitate activities focused around insects, plants, nutrition, sun safety, and gardening. The Read more opportunity to work with students outside of the classroom, and watching them create something that they were so proud of was extremely rewarding. I am currently working on my prerequisites to go back to school to work as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I enjoy working with children of all ages, each age offering uniquely interesting and challenging opportunities. I am happy to talk further about my experiences as a substitute teacher, and summer camp leader. I love to watch children learn and grow, and look forward to meeting your family!
