I started taking care of kids when I was 14. My first job was caring for three kids ages 1, 4, and 7. I took care of them during the summer full time. I have also worked in day cares in the Longview area since I was 17. While working in daycare, I have experience with caring for up 28 kids at a time. My last job was caring for a special needs child who is Autistic and Down Syndrome. I had been with her since she was a year old and she just recently turned 12. I left that job in May 2014 when the mom quit her job to come home and be a stay at home mom. I enjoy caring for children. It is fun to watch them learn and grow. It is fun to be with kids because I can be myself and act silly with Read more them. I enjoy playing games, watching movies, and just having fun.
