My name is Lindsay Barnhart. I am a very positive, caring and outgoing person. I love being outdoors and am very adventurous and active. I am going to college for Elementary Education with an endorsement of Special Education. I have a passion for children and helping them grow and learn. I am twenty years old. Family means everything to me and I am looking forward to work with your family. I have babysat for multiple families for six years including children of all different ages. I have become very close with the families that I care for and consider them as very close friends, even family. I currently work in a childcare center. Here, I plan and prepare many activities a day for the children. The different types of activities include large motor, small motor, fine motor, gross motor and sensory. I am not afraid to do messy activities with Read more the children because they have the most fun with these! I do make sure to clean up directly after the activity is over though so the mess doesn't get the entire house dirty! One of my main goals is to keep the children physically active while keeping their minds active also. I also work with a service called The Respite Connection. Through this service I provide care and supervision for individuals with disabilities. I help the individuals work towards a common goal such as daily hygiene, cooking, cleaning or how to behave appropriately in public areas. I have a passion for working with children. I am very confident with driving. I have my drivers license and my own vehicle and have been driving all types of vehicles since I was fourteen years old. I am a very clean person and love to organize. I will be willing to do any house chores that are asked of me and will complete them throughly. Chances are I will begin cleaning messes without being asked!
