Warm, patient, flexible, and fun caregiver! I am passionate about ensuring children have a fun and safe time exploring and learning every day. I enjoy reading, baking, building, making, and creating with children. Previously, I engaged children as a summer counselor for a preschool summer camp in a class of older four and 5-year-olds. We explored the surrounding nature and playgrounds using creativity to have fun while learning about the world around us. During the school year, I substituted daily in classrooms of varying age groups (2-5-year-olds), eating with the children and helping them wind down for nap time. Additionally, I supervised swimming daily. I enjoyed working at camp and preschool which were both focused on child-directed exploration and learning through nature and curiosity. I have additional experience babysitting (infants-school age). I am a CPR certified nonsmoker, have a college degree, and have my own vehicle. I also have a Read more clean driving record and background. I'm comfortable with some pets!
