A little bit about me

Hi! I am a high school senior graduating in June, and I will be attending UC Davis for undergraduate school beginning in September. I love working with children; I was a Counselor-in-Training at a summer camp from the ages of 12–15, was then promoted to a counselor, and I still work there as a lead counselor. Additionally, I volunteer at the Encino Community Center, providing childcare for youth ages 7–13. I have experience as a mentor for 30 middle school children, where I created lesson plans, taught fun lessons, tutored, and provided childcare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have a driver’s license and a car. I take an optimistic and emotionally conscious approach when working with children. Some of my hobbies are baking, cooking, and singing. I am looking forward to working as a nanny/babysitter this summer!
