I discovered my passion for childcare at a very young age, when I began babysitting for neighbors and family friends. I continued to work with children throughout my teens and early 20's, holding positions such as: swim instructor, dance teacher, teachers' assistant, and pediatric medical assistant. After working in the medical field for 3 years, I decided to return to school and to begin working on my degree in Early Childhood Education. I am now only a few unit hours away from obtaining my Bachelor's degree. I have currently been attending Purdue University Northwest, while working part-time in the food service industry. With the current state of the economy and our ongoing public health crisis, I have decided that it would be safest for me to consider any home-childcare positions available to me at this time. I feel that childcare and education is a “calling” and I know that I Read more am a person who is patient, empathetic, and well-suited for this type of work. I believe the following list represents my talents which are most critical to the position I am seeking: -A passion for developing and shaping young minds. -A demonstrated enthusiasm towards learning of all kinds. -A reputation for having a great amount of patience and a flexible personality. -An organized manner of preparing for and conducting learning activities, while simultaneously supervising large groups of children.
