I dedicated myself to babysitting at the age of 13. I began by taking the Super Sitter course given by the Saint Joseph Medical Center. I then babysat for many clients throughout middle and high school. I have been employed by the Jazzercise organization to care for the children of participants. My love for working with children inspired me to major in elementary education at Saint Mary's College. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in education I obtained the full time position of first grade teacher at Saint Bavo school. I have worked with the 6 and 7 year olds at Saint Bavo since the fall of 2000. I am now looking for a new job. Working one on one with a child would be very rewarding. It would be great to be able to spend my time working with one child. We could build a strong relationship and engage Read more in many fun and educational activities. I love my job as a teacher because I believe I can change the world by helping children become confident, caring, and independent people. I have many years experience working with young children which has given me different opportunities to advance my skills of working with children. Along with being certified as an Indiana Elementary school teacher, I am certified in CPR and First Aid.
