I volunteered at Kiddie Learning Academy in Rolling Meadows for a total of 44 hours over one summer, working with toddlers and children aged 1-3. Here, I learned basic skills in caring for young children, including the importance of communication, patience, and positivity. I was enrolled in an early childhood education class at William Fremd High School, which is a two year program that instructs students about the development of children from conception to adulthood. I also participated in Fremd’s preschool program, in which I created and taught lessons and worked one on one with children aged 3-6. By completing this course, I received the ECE Credential Level 1 through Gateways to Opportunity, the Illinois Professional Development System. Starting my junior year of high school, I began working for Community Consolidated School District 15 at Kimball Hill Elementary Schools CARE Program, as a supervisor. Here, I monitored children at an Read more after school program, maintained a safe environment indoors and outside while the children played, interacted with students and parents, and helped the children with homework. I am also currently CPR Certified through the American Heart Associations Basic Life Support (CPR & AED) Program. I have babysat for multiple families over the years as well, and my love for caring for children has facilitated my decision to pursue a career in pediatric medicine!
