• Comfortable with pets

Hello! I am a 26-year-old graduate from Eastern Mennonite University. I was recently laid off from my job at a television station due to downsizing and decided I wished to pursue a path in childcare rather than media as some of the best, most fulfilling jobs I've had over the years have been working with children. In the summer of 2010 I worked as a nanny to two elementary school aged boys (8 and 10). My duties included providing a structured day for them which consisted of studying, completing worksheets, outside play, preparing breakfast and lunch together, and sometimes visiting the local pool or arcade. More recently, I watched two young girls during the summer of 2014 (aged 5 and 7) who involved more creative play such as storytelling, arts and crafts, swimming games, and dress-up. Both families also had pets which I was happy to take care of throughout Read more the day. Throughout my years providing childcare, I have worked with ages ranging from toddlers to teenagers, and I have felt comfortable with them all. I grew up with two younger siblings, and as the eldest, it was often my job to watch after them while my parents ran errands or went out of town for a weekend. I have also been involved in church activities which required me to watch large groups of children for short periods of time including Bible study groups and Vacation Bible School. I am extremely passionate about providing safe, healthy, and creative learning spaces for children. I love finding new activities, projects, and crafts for them to do, and participating in creating is just as fun for me as it is for them. I also have a lot of experience in cooking and love making meals, especially if the process can be collaborative. (I have experience with vegetarian and allergy-friendly diets as well.) Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions or concerns. I am not CPR certified but would absolutely be willing to take a course if you feel that is necessary for your child's needs. Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you!
