Hello! I am a fun, outgoing, creative, respectful and polite person. I'm a certified personal trainer and due to that love playing sports and doing outdoor activities. I also have no problem lifting a little heavier things (toys, wagons, car seats, etc) or kids. Health is important to me, so I try to make sure kids have healthy snacks and run around and play (giving that their physical health will allow it.. Watching for asthma, etc.) I took baby sitting classes when I was in high school and baby sat kids of literally all ages. I love animals too! I grew up with dogs, vas and hamsters. I think it is very important for kids to not only have respect but be respected too. I am not a fan of yelling. I would rather sit down and talk it out. When I was in middle school I went through 3 Read more day time etiquette schools. While I hated it sometimes at the time, I thank my parents every day now for teaching me manners and how to act in just about every situation. I love helping kids work on their please and thank you'd etc too. Crafts are fun and I love coming up with different creative things to do every day that kids can also learn from! Even if it is just how to draw a certain animal, etc. Having fun, learning and being healthy are all important things in life. Treating others how I want to be treated is too! But I do only spoil to an extent. Brattiness is not acceptable in my book and in my experience I have helped kids understand that they can't always get what they want, and there is a difference between wanting and needing. I also try to help kids understand the importance of helping others too!
