A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Grace, I'm 22 years old and currently a student at the University of Oregon majoring in Family and Human Services. Working with children is my greatest passion in life as it brings me the greatest amount of joy. I am a fanatic about the outdoors! I enjoy going to parks, going on walks, swimming, chalk art, painting, anything you can do outside-I love doing! I am a kid at heart so anything kid related, I love doing. I also love and appreciate stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things and going to new places. It is extremely important to always make sure each child is safe and that will always be my number one concern. I go out of my way to ensure I'm building and establishing a trusting, safe, and caring relationship with each child.I also highly value ensuring that children have fun! This has never been a job to me, I thoroughly love spending time with kids. Whenever envisioning my future job and what I want out of life, it always involves kids.
