What started my love for child care was my volunteer work at a Montessori Children's House, starting in 2009. I volunteered for a year before they offered me a job in the Primary classroom, ages 2.5-5. I fell in love with it. My duties included helping the Guide keep order in the class, prepare snacks, aide on the playground which helped to foster imagination, get the children down for nap, and I ran a latchkey program. I stayed in this position until deciding to further my education in 2011. I moved to Grand Rapids and started taking classes for Early Childhood Education. After a few years I moved back to the Petoskey area and started back at the Montessori, where I became first aide and CPR certified. On top of working at the Montessori I started babysitting for a few families with children of all ages. I helped to keep Read more houses clean, ran children to an assortment of activities, prepared meals, and packed lunches for school.
