Hello, my name is Lara-lee, I turned 18 in October and I am currently a high school senior. I lived in D.C. with my father and stepmother for 4 years till I moved back to North Carolina in November to live with my mother. I have two little sisters who I love very much, the eldest is my stepsister who turned 14 in July, and my youngest sister who turned 2 in September. As an older sister, it has been expected of me to be a role model, and trusted babysitter. I have extensive personal experience in childcare from taking care of my younger siblings which has taught me important skills such as communication and listening skills, understanding needs and wants of a child, empathy, fairness, how to properly change a diaper, test and give a bottle, proper nutrition, time to play, and how to promptly follow set routines such Read more as getting ready for bed. Not only do I have personal experience, but I have trained in the Early Childhood Developmental program provided by the Arlington Career Center, a well noted vocational school just outside Washington D.C., we learned about hazards and prevention, the different skills children learn with growth i.e. cognitive, gross motor, and fine motor skills, how to approach a child with mutual respect and understanding through positivity. I mainly worked with infants and toddlers, but I was assigned to work with preschoolers on occasion. I spent a semester studying microbiology and the importance of cleanliness and proper ritualistic hygiene in the workplace, and for personal guide. I am an extremely patient person who genuinely loves children, and I understand that trust is important beyond all means, I would only treat another child with the same care and attention I would wish for my sisters, I am protective, reliable, and relaxed in immediate situations.
