A little bit about me

I am a college student at Boise Idaho studying Elementary Education. I have a drivers license and my own vehicle and live in Boise year round with the exception of three two week periods scattered throughout the year. I have been working with children ages 4-15 for 6 years now doing aftercare at a church program, and babysitting for more. Working with children is truly my calling and I am so excited to graduate and move into the professional world of childcare.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Magee! I am a cheerleader at Boise State University, so my schedule is a little busier than most. I have a very big family with little kids running around all the time, and I love it. I was a lifeguard a couple of years ago, so I may need to freshen up on my first aid/CPR, but I am totally willing to do that. I want to find a family I can be a part of and kiddos I can love as if they were my own!

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.
