A little bit about me

I currently work at a Christian preschool and nursery, where I help care for and guide young children in a nurturing, faith-based environment. I have been babysitting since I was 15, caring for both my three youngest siblings and other families in the community. Additionally, I have experience working in-house at a non-profit church after-school and summer program, assisting with childcare for children from low-income families, providing quality care at no cost to parents. These experiences have given me strong skills in supervising, engaging, and supporting children of various ages in safe and positive settings.

A little bit about me

I am an aviation student at Louisiana Tech University. I am a Christian and have attended a Presbyterian church all of my life. I spent this past summer working at Camp Ozark, a Christian summer camp where I worked with primarily 8-10 year old boys. I love working with and mentoring children, whether that is at church, through coaching, or through babysitting. I try to make everything fun, yet structured and with a purpose.
