A little bit about me

I have always enjoyed working with kids! I’m currently in school working to get my degree in psychology so I can become a children’s therapist. I’ve worked as a swim instructor for almost 5 years now, teaching ages 6 mo-18. I’ve worked as a day camp counselor this past summer where I mainly focused on the kids aged 6-8. And I’m constantly babysitting my little cousins, 3 and 10. I’m very patient, enjoy teaching, cpr and first aid trained, and very enthusiastic!

A little bit about me

My name Is A’zaree I’m 18 & I’ve recently Graduated high school. I have my CNA license and i’m working on getting my CPR license I’ve took classes for it but my CNA teacher has yet to give me my license for it. So I do know how to give CPR. While I was doing CNA classes I noticed that I didn’t want to work with Old people so I decided to do something else with my license and go into child care. I have had no luck with that but I still haven’t gave up looking for jobs until someone hires me. I’m loving and caring. I’m very energetic And you can trust me with your children. I can cook and know how to care for kids cause Of course I used to baby sit my little cousins and Siblings.
