I am a second-year Human Development and Family Sciences Major at the University of Connecticut. While I love working with kids, as my major implies, I love animals almost just as much. Because of my education, I have a really good understanding of how our brains develop and function as well as understanding how a child looks at the world around them. I have a lot of hands-on experience in addition to my academics (I won't get into the specifics but they are all included on my resume which I'd be happy to send to you). I grew up with an autistic sibling so I have firsthand experience navigating day-to-day life for someone with a disability. I also helped care for my elderly grandfather growing up. I've been working at least part-time ever since I turned 14, and I work for a local pizza shop. (In addition to serving and Read more taking orders I also have experience with engaging kids in multiple facets as the owners have two little ones). Because of my job, I am only available evenings or late afternoons most weekdays but if I am given a long enough heads up I can switch my shifts around to accommodate you and your family. I also have experience with animals (I have two cats and a well-loved fish, currently but have grown up with all sorts of critters) and have even assisted my neighbor in locating her rogue peacock. Whether it be hanging out and watching a movie, doing some errands, or going to the park to give Mom and Dad a break -- I'll make sure your kids are having a safe and awesome time!
