A little bit about me

I may not have paid experience in childcare, but I do have meaningful hands‑on experience. I took a Parenting and Child Development class where we cared for a RealCare Baby for a weekend. While it may not seem like much, it simulated caring for a real infant, including waking up in the middle of the night.
I also participated in a 7‑week play school in our classroom, working with 13 children ages 3–5. During that time, we created lesson plans, prepared snacks, and organized games and activities.
In addition, I completed an Intro to Early Childhood Education class, which included a 7‑week internship at Shelly Culver Head Start. I worked with 19 children ages 3–5 and two mentor teachers, where I observed, played with, and taught the kids.
I am not currently CPR or first aid certified, but I have been trained in CPR in school and I am willing to obtain official certification if needed.

Well I don't have paid experience in child care I am the oldest in my family and was always the babysitter for my aunts and uncles. I love babies and love working with them as well as kids. Though I am not certified in first aid or cpr that is something I want to look into in the near future but I have gone through health class in school and taken online courses I just haven't been able to pay for the certifications. I can work early in the mornings before school and in the mid day after school into the evenings. I would need Thursdays and Sundays off as well as select Fridays and if family events come up I would like those days off to. I am very flexible I can cook and clean and do laundry.
