I have worked at a summer camp for the past 5 summers and loved every minute of it! Always something I would look forward to during the other seasons. I worked with 5-12 year olds at this summer camp. We would go 5 days a week and do outdoor activities, field trips, manage their lunches, help with bathroom breaks, etc. as well as working as a camp counselor I have been a life-gaurd for the past 6 summers so I am CPR and first aid certified. We would practice our CPR skills quite frequently (4/month) so the CPR skills are second nature to me at this point. I also have been babysitting since I was about 13 with different families. I used to have a family I babysat for every week for about a year. And I still sometimes sit for them when they need a babysitter. Usually the ages were 2-8 year olds. Also with having 6 nieces and 1 nephew, I babysit them a lot when their parents need me to. I use to babysit one of my nieces quite frequently with my brother being a single dad. My niece was about 3 months old when i started babysitting her up until she was about 2 years old. So I’ve had a lot of experience with different age groups, on different levels of looking after kids. I love working with kids, because I always have!
