Hi it's Valerie! I am currently studying occupational therapy and have a passion for care taking. I have worked at a highly-regarded daycare/preschool in The Woodlands, TX. As a Teacher's Assistant, I cared for up to 15 children at once (working with infants and older). I provided daily feedback re: activities/health, and taught educational lessons. I have worked as a lifeguard and have thorough safety and child care training. I value music, story-telling, dancing, crafts, staying active and coming up with creative games. I am an upbeat, playful sitter, and I give kids my undivided attention. I am interested in working during the summer months May-August. If you are in need of a sitter during this time, just let me know and I would love to help out. I look forward to hearing from you!
