Hello! My name is Sophie and I am currently a junior at UNR studying Criminal Justice, Psychology, Dance, and Addition Counseling. plan to go into Juvenile Justice to do Correctional Counseling. I grew up with my mom owning both a dance studio and a preschool, and got experience working with children there for most of my life. I have been in Early Childhood Education courses and gained classroom experience. I have been with 2 different daycares with multiple age groups. At one daycare was in out “baby room” and was responsible for 6-8 babies under 24 months with one other teacher. This was probably my favorite because in the time I was there I got to see these babies learn to walk, and say their first words. I also worked with the preschool day care program (ages 3-5) as well as an after school care program (3-10). It was such Read more a beyond special experience. When working at these daycares, I became childcare certified through the State of Nevada Childcare Registry. To become certified I had to take 25 hours of courses on a variety of childcare topics and safety resources, including CPR and First Aid certification. Outside of daycares, I have been a family babysitter for different families for 4 years. I have cared for special needs children, babies, and school aged, and really appreciate growing a bond with each of the families I care for. I feel that my experience makes me a great candidate, but more than that I really have always felt called to work with children and it is something that I absolutely love doing. Bonding with children and families is such a special experience and I wouldn’t give up the connections I have made for the world. I really love what I get to do as a babysitter and I would I appreciate the consideration to help your family!
