"Mommy...Daddy...I'm tired." is most likely be the first thing your child will say to you upon your arrival. This is because while they are under my care they will be busy completing homework, playing games, reading, exploring, creating, learning... I like to do a little bit of everything in order to keep things exciting for the kids. I have many topics of interests. Also, a strong background in creating fun activities, using various instruction and behavioral strategies, as well as maintaining awareness of children's communication styles. Therefore, based upon your guidelines, I can provide care that cater specifically to your child's needs and interests. Here are some examples of activities (may vary by age): -Completing any necessary homework, assignments, or other responsibilities. -Writing an original story then creating the actual book -Doing Alphabet Yoga -Creating an indoor/outdoor mini snack garden -Practicing soccer & basketball shooting drills -#Scavenger Hunt @ the Read more local park (This is a "Teen Twitter" activity that requires parental approval/login access) -Using fabric to make collages -Reading a story/book then acting out the favorite scene. -Making Iron/Bat/Spider Man using clay or Play-Dough -Playing Cheese Bingo -Listening to music and singing songs -Completing the clean room challenge! A little more bit about me: Lauren Little I am funny, energetic, organized and reliable. My favorite interests are cooking, exercising, drawing, robotics, and reading. Currently, I am a student at UCONN studying to become a Child Therapist. I have more than 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. The passion I have for caring and communicating with children is demonstrated in my work. As an independent contractor, I currently work part-time to create, manage, coordinate and instruct educational programming and workshops for students in Hartford, CT. If you would like to know more information about my background (including a copy of my resume) or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I am happy to oblige. -Lauren!
