I have been working with children since I was volunteering at 11 years old at a preschool where my mom worked. I took a babysitting course when I was 11 years old and in high school I took Early Childhood Development classes, babysitting jobs in my free time. I got my Bachelors Degree in Human Relations which included Growth and Development classes. I was a summer camp counselor in high school. I have worked with infants ( 6 weeks old)-children up to 12 years old. I am caring, friendly, patient, empathetic, understanding, fun-loving, and I love finding arts and crafts and other age-appropriate activities to do with the children I am taking care of. I have taken care of many children over the years and have been told I have a gift when it comes to child care. I love getting to know their personalities, likes/dislikes, and what's important to Read more them. I find out what they like to do and I find activities that they can do based on what they like doing. I am CPR/First Aid certified. *I am a smoker but I will not smoke during the time I am working with children.
