My Name is Krystal and I am 27 years old. I grew up in a military family ever since I was born and took advatage of traveling around the world. I am very spontaneous, outgoing and enthuastic person and I love to stay active in my life. I am a happy go lucky person and always a very positive person. I try to bring the best in everyday life challenges. I work for the federal government and trying to find a side job so I can earn a little more money. Before working for the government, I use to work with children full time for about 6 years. I started as a child watch assistant working at the YMCA for child watch program for about 2 and half years where we assist and watch children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. During that time, I also babysat outside the Read more job for some families I met while working at the Y. Then I became a preschool teacher at the YMCA from their child youth program. I volunteered for about 1 year while working at the Child Watch. I was doing that part time while going to school studing Early Childhood education and I decided to work full time and I got a job at the Child Development Center at Jackson Park. My goal was to work with military kids because I grew up as one and it was fun and one of the best experiences ever. After realizing working with kids, it was one thing I was very passionate about it and I was good at and saw myself doing it in the long run. I want to open up my own day care in the future. The reason why I love being a sitter because I always want to make a difference in a child's life and I feel like that's very important. I love being able to form memories with children of all ages and be attentive and loving to them because some kids need that care and I love showing that to them. Also, to have that patience, I strongly believe some children can have temper tantrums, but if you show them the willingness to make them happy and not give up on them, is a total blessing and makes your heart grow fonder. I also love putting a smile on a child's face because that shows I'm doing a great job! Kids are the meaning in life and are the future. Another thing I love is being able to be creative with children as a sitter. I love being able to create something new so kids can be entertained whether it's games, crafts, or other activities. My main objective is to set a good example for the children and become their best mentors and teachers.
