UPDATE: I hope you are well. I will likely not be able to babysit at this time, at least, not in a recurring fashion. I apologize. Stay safe! Hi! I'm Malasia, a college junior studying Journalism and Psychology, with interests in eating disorders, child psychology, and developmental psychology. I am also interested in how the media works and how it impacts us in different ways. In my free time, I write prose or short creative pieces and work on Canva graphic designs. From Fall 2019 to Spring 2020 (pre-Covid), I worked at Louisiana State University's Early Childhood Education Laboratory Preschool with children aged six weeks to five or six years old. I mainly assisted primary and secondary teachers in rooms of eight to ten children with things like meal preparations and feedings, procedure learning (e.g., clean up, nap time, outside time, hand washing, etc.), speech and object recognition, potty time Read more and diaper changes, reading time, and observational play. In high school, I tutored kindergarten and first grade children in English (i.e., word and alphabet recognition, alphabet writing, reading), as well as a sixth grader (e.g., cursive writing, reading and comprehension, short passage reading, question comprehension, short writing assignments). I also tutored an eighth grader in Science and Math topics. When I wasn’t tutoring, I was assisting children with arts and crafts and snack preparations/setup. Additionally, I played basketball for three years, swam competitively for over eight, and ran track for three. When I swam, I often assisted my younger team members with swim strokes, turns, and starts. I also have knowledge of some football skills and rules, so I know fun ways to play and exercise. I completed and passed a background check for the LSU Preschool and have also passed the Checkr background check through the babysitting website called Nanno. Though I am not yet CPR certified, I completed a certified Junior Lifeguard program and will be attempting to receive a CPR certification this September, 2021. Childcare experiences aside, I am also pet friendly. I have an elderly dog who is almost 15 years old that I have cared for since I was five years old, have been around other dogs, like pit bulls, and have no problem being around a cat or two. I love quotes, so I’d like to end with one by American author, Dr. Seuss: “You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!”
