My name is Ivana. I'm 20 years old, and just moved to Rockford from Amarillo, TX. Down in Texas, I would babysit my 3 year old nephew almost every weekend. We would read books together, go outside and run around, or go out to places such as Chuck E Cheese's or the park. We always had fun together and I would always try to teach him something new and exciting. I was also a part of AmeriCorps my senior year of high school, which allowed me to go to an elementary school every morning and help tutor struggling students. I would work at Lamar Elementary and would help all age groups with their reading, writing and mathematics. I was trained by the school district on how to handle difficult children and allow all children to reach their full potential. Every morning I would either start my day off with the Read more pre-K students, or I would work individually with a fifth grade student. After that I would grab a group of three second grade students and help them with whatever their assignment was for the day. I would work with them for about forty five minutes before I would grab a couple of third graders and help work on their reading levels. I would end my mornings in a classroom of fourth graders, where I would assist the whole class with whatever the teacher needed. I've always loved kids. I'm planning on becoming a first grade teacher in a few years. Children have so much potential and creativity, and they should be allowed to express themselves in a safe and educational atmosphere.
