Drawn to childcare, I have previously worked as a counselor at two summer camps: Camp Explore and Camp Shalom. Camp Explore is a Madison School and Community Recreation (MSCR) summer program for elementary students. This experience accelerated my leadership skills more than I could have hoped for. I learned to command a group's attention, mediate arguments, and comfort students when they got hurt-- physically or emotionally. In this position I, along with another counselor, were responsible for a group of ten kids. They were ages ten to twelve from varying backgrounds. Additionally, I was also able to spend time with campers anywhere from six to twelve during all-camp activities. Prior to this experience, I attended a five month preparatory class through my school known as the Leader in Training program. Each week we met to learn about child development, inclusion, communication techniques, and engaging means of education for those in Read more our care. As for Camp Shalom, I led a group of fourteen children with two co-counselors. These were eight and nine year olds with endless energy. Games included kickball, arts and crafts, and I remember vividly being instructed to prepare the worms for fishing every day (not my favorite). Luckily, I am also a high energy person with an adventurous, creative spirit. I love introducing kids to the worlds of art, science, nature, and language in particular. I am academically oriented and would be happy to educate if that’s what the parents have in mind. Furthermore, I adore small children and have plenty of experience working with babies and toddlers between 0 and 4 years old as well thanks to the ever-growing nature of my extended family. Though I’m only 18, my maternal instincts have already kicked in and I look forward to having children some day. In the meantime, I want to care for your child with the same gentle direction and kind heart as I envision a mother would.
