Hi, my name is Ava and I’m excited to meet your family! I have several years of experience working with children of all ages, from preschoolers to preteens, in both structured and camp-based environments. I have previously completed CPR and First Aid training and have hands-on experience applying safety awareness and emergency response skills through my work as a lifeguard at a retirement community pool. In that role, I was responsible for ensuring a safe environment, monitoring conditions, and responding quickly and calmly when needed. My childcare experience includes working as a Vacation Bible School camp counselor, where I supervised elementary-aged children and led activities such as games, storytelling, crafts, and group projects in a safe and supportive environment. I also worked as a summer camp coordinator and counselor in Costa Rica, where I led recreational and educational activities for children, including English lessons, sports, swimming, and arts and crafts. Read more That experience also helped me strengthen my Spanish, which I now speak at an advanced level. I also have experience in communication and organization through internships in marketing and media, where I developed skills in teamwork, planning, and creative problem-solving. I really enjoy working with kids and creating engaging, meaningful experiences. I especially love incorporating creativity into childcare through arts and crafts, storytelling, and hands-on activities, as well as spending time outdoors when possible, such as walks, park visits, and exploring nature in a fun and safe way. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I always aim to create a positive, safe, and supportive environment for the children I work with.
