I love children! I recently graduated from Western Illinois University with my major in music therapy and my minor in psychology. Through my coursework, I have received extensive training on the typical and atypical development of children and how to appropriately and effectively interact with them. I have also worked at a group home in Galesburg, where I was given training in First Aid and CPR in addition to my experience caring for 8 individuals. I have multiple years of experience babysitting a number of children from birth through junior high. Some of the children I have babysat have had special needs. The highest number of siblings I have cared for are 3, including twins. I am comfortable preparing meals and overseeing children as they eat, bathing and changing children, reading to them, helping with homework, and playing with them. If necessary, I am comfortable transporting children to and from Read more various activities. I am also willing to assist in some house-keeping.
