With several years babysitting experience, I have always loved youth and have the ability to engage children of all ages, impacting their progress towards responsible and healthy adults, while honing into the fun of being a child. A few of my passions are youth, music, the outdoors, animals, writing, and helping hurting people. I graduated high school in 2012 and have worked full-time the last 3 years. I went to Haiti on an orphan care missions trip in 2014. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, but moved to Grand Rapids this summer to live closer to my family who moved here last year. I would love to go to college at some point, but I'm enjoying working now. The oldest of 3, I am responsible, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented, and I am passionate about pouring into kids, showing them how valuable and beautiful they are. I would love to make babysitting Read more a big part of my life and make more of an impact in the next generation. The last 3 months, I worked at Robinette's Apple Haus and Winery as a school tour guide and store clerk. I loved giving school tours, and many teachers complimented me on my tours and how good I am with kids. From January to June this year, I was a church music assistant and restaurant hostess in Ohio. I began babysitting at age 13 and babysat at least once every 2-4 weeks on average through middle school and high school. The last 3 years with working full-time, I babysit when I am able to. An advanced classical pianist, I taught beginner to intermediate piano lessons when I was between age 14 and 20, with 2-7 students during the school year and up to 16 in the summers. I taught students ranging from age 4 to 14. Piano teaching has given me many skills such as imparting knowledge to kids at their level. For 2 1/4 years, I worked in activities in all levels of care at a retirement home, being promoted to Senior Activity Aide in the Dementia Unit. I developed, directed, and carried out activities and programs to meet the residents' needs and interests. Encouragement, family involvement, and one-on-one time were daily given to residents. I worked with residents with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. I believe that my positions at the retirement home gave me greater skills in leadership, directing activities, creativity, and the ability to connect with people in all states of mind. I ask that you would consider me to care for your children, as I believe I would do a fabulous job.
