I have numerous years of experience working with children not only in my family life, but also from my work-life as well. I began babysitting neighbors' children at age of 12 and I am still called by people at my church to babysit for them. I am capable of keeping their attention and knowing when it is time to "change it up" for instance, if we are working on homework, no child wants to spend 2 hours reviewing Math problems unless it is in a fun game based environment. I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor for children, teens and adults for numerous years and therefore I have experience interacting with all age groups. Most of my child care experience comes from working with children as a swim instructor and caring for my nieces when they were infants and now toddlers. My college education is based on psychology with Read more my future interest being a child and family counselor, to work with kids by talking and playing with them on a level they understand so that I can help the child and parent effectively communicate, whether it is because of a trauma, behavioral issues or disabilities.
