I am a positive and reliable student with 6 years of experience working with children. I started working for my neighbor as a mother's helper when I was 14. I would make lunch, watch a 2 and 4-year-old, and clean up all toys. One of the children has special needs and I now help him with therapy through zoom. The two children have grown up to pre-school and elementary school age. Currently, I help them both with online school. The family recently had a newborn as well who I have experience watching. I have changed diapers, put her down for naps, and fed her bottles. Lastly, I have also worked as a Camp Counselor during the summer for two years. As a counselor, I was in charge of leading 15 students ages 9-10 through educational and recreational activities. I am relocating to VA for school and I am looking to Read more make some money for tution and follow my passion for spending time with children.
