Hello! I am a 21-year-old girl and am certified in First Aid/CPR. I've completed two babysitting courses and I currently babysit for two families. Not only have I cared for elementary school age, early school age children and infants, but I also have some experience with newborns. Currently, I work part-time as a senior clerk in my local library. I will be starting my 3rd year of college this Fall as a student in the Dental Hygiene Program. I enjoy reading and writing in my spare time. I take my grades and school work very seriously and I work hard to be on the Dean's List each semester. I've taken some coursework pertaining to children and have taken classes such as child, adolescent, social psych, AP psych, child growth/development and sociology in High school. I've had very good luck finding amazing families and I can't wait to meet yours!
