Hello, and thank you for checking me out! I am a certificated teacher and soon-to-be school counselor who cares deeply about the holistic growth and maturity of children. I understand that feelings of physical and emotional security are crucial to all stages of development. For this reason, I am both firm and warm, structured and fun. I believe that children need social interaction and the ability to explore the world around them if they are to become well-adjusted, full-functioning members of society. I want to kids to have real experiences, authentic learning opportunities, and developmentally appropriate challenges more than screens and entertainment. My wide range of job experiences include babysitting for neighbors, camp counseling, teaching K-12 students, administrative assistance, technical maintenance, and experience at a non-profit for special needs adults. My skill set includes teaching & training, homework help, cooking, cleaning, organization, computer software, research, oral and written communication, conflict Read more resolution, and much more. This website's scheduling tool is limited for my purposes, so allow me to clarify. I am seeking summer employment as the school year is not in session. During the summer, I can be available as early as 6am or as late as 6pm (depending upon location). My availability is guaranteed Monday-Friday, but I can build in some flexibility for weekends if necessary. I am saving the cost of a background check through Sittercity because I have gone through so many background checks and driving histories for my role as an educator that I can provide you a physical printout. Please let me know if you would feel more comfortable and prefer that I order a background check through Sittercity; I will do so upon request. Professional and personal references also available upon individual request. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your particular childcare, household, or caregiving needs.
