I am currently seeking to become a babysitter because of the joy that I receive when I'm able to help children and interact with them in my field of study. I'm a psychology major graduate with a concentration in developmental psychology, making me very knowledgeable about how to interact with children at different developmental stages. I've been a teacher and taught a class of about 8-11 children ages 5-14 during a summer enrichment program. I have also assisted teaching in virtual learning . I was a research assistant at an elementary school, where I spent time testing children's cognitive abilities along with assisting teachers. I also previously worked at a crafts store. While there, I was a crafts teacher to children from the ages of 3 and up. I was trained in crafts while working at my previous job and am filled with lots of creative project ideas to interact Read more with children with. In total, I have about 7 years of experience in babysitting and teaching autistic and neurotypical children as well as infants and older children.
