I love working with kids and especially enjoy 1:1 interactions where my attention can be undivided and focused. I spent a rewarding year as PCA for a 5-year-old boy with down syndrome and am still in contact with their family, babysitting occasionally for him and his older brother. My current paying jobs, besides babysitting, are assistant director for Part 2 after school, Residential Counselor at a group home, and substitute teaching. All three have their own rewards, of course, but they involve larger groups of kids. Thinking of 1:1, as a volunteer, I mentor a student at Union Elementary through Everybody Wins VT, and a Doty Memorial student out in the community through Girls Boyz First. Volunteerism is important to me and I do what I can in the community. This includes doing Library outreach for All Together Now preschool, which involves selecting and bringing books to them and reading Read more aloud to the kids. I also volunteer for Children's Literacy Foundation (CLiF) and the Central Vermont Humane Society. I am comfortable with doing outside activities such as biking, swimming, and playing ball, and am I also equally comfortable inside with such things as Legos, puzzles, and crafts. I try to infuse anything I do with creativity, imagination, and wonder. Towards that pursuit, I hugely enjoy learning new things, making discoveries (including new music), and seeing what I can do to make things better. For getting around, I drive a 2017 CR-V that has AWD and numerous built-in safety features. Errands and transport are not a problem. I would love to talk with you more about your specific needs and answer any questions you might have. In the meantime, here is a link to my current resume https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qoSZ8GwiiugKVBv8jg7bnmBaLGCT3prF I look forward to hearing from you. Best, JD 802-505-3406
