Hi there! I am a senior at Umass Amherst studying kinesiology. For the past year and a half I have been working at an afterschool kids program with kids who are preschool to 6th grade. I have a lot of experience babysitting kids in the home setting, I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew who are all very young and I have watched them for about 8 years now. I love playing with children, taking them to the park and other fun outdoorsy things! I am adult and child CPR/AED certified. I have also completed a number of trainings on the Childhood Education institute website (CCEI).
