I've worked with kids since I started as a summer camp counselor at age 13. In high school, I babysat for infants and/or elementary school children almost every weekend. I spent summer 2013 caring for an adorable 5 year-old with Type I diabetic needs and then summer of 2015 caring for a boy with Asperger's. As an art minor, I adore crafts and can integrate it into my babysitting duties (if the kids are up for it). I also have experience teaching tennis to children aged 4-14 and speak conversational French. Medical/behavioral needs do not phase me, nor does housework or pets! I am dependable and love children.
