A little bit about me

I am a college freshman majoring in Athletic Training. Which is a medical degree. I am efficient and properly know how to care for wounds as well as being good under pressure. My job at school is athletic training and there are many instances where in need to act quickly and efficiently. I also know how to preform CPR on children, infants, and adults. Unfortunately Weekends are hard for me to work. I have been babysitting for awhile but I’d say I have about 4-5 years worth of experience. I also was a part of being a Preschool teacher at south elgin high school in the Children education class. There I learned how to teach children things like: reading, shapes, colors, numbers, animals, writing, and more. I am good with children of all ages. Mostly experienced in children ages 10 and under. I love doing crafts/doing activities and being outside. I love getting to know each child and learning their favorite things and their least favorite things.
