I am the oldest girl of four children, so even as a young child I had responsibilities caring for my siblings. As a teen I had many experiences volunteering as a babysitter for families in my church. I wouldn't only put on a movie as most of the babysitters I had growing up did, but I would play games with the kids, cook them meals, walk them to the park, clean up the house, and help them with their homework. As an adult my childcare experience changed a bit. I still babysat, but not as much, mostly just for family members. I then became a tutor where I used my babysitting experience knowledge to relate and build a friendly, trusting bond between the children I tutor and I. The experience I have gained babysitting and tutoring has helped me understand children in a way that I can be their friend, but at the same time their teacher and role model.

I have worked with children for over 15 years. I have been babysitting since i was 13. I am have worked in an regular class as well as an Learning Handicaped class at an elementary school for 3 years. I also worked as a teacher in the afterschool program. I had 23 children in my class and no aide. I have my AA in child development and also speech language pathology assistant. I have worked with children of all ages as well as twins and children with disabilities. I was a FT nanny for 2 boys who both have autism as well as worked for a company as an adaptive skills specialist for children with autism.

I use to help my mom take care of children (from ages infant to four years old and here and there five years old) at church in the day care center. I also was a Sunday schools teacher's assistant (for ages 6-8 years old) so I am familiar with arts and crafts and playing outdoors with the children, and during high school I was in a mentor program for two years mentoring freshman's. What I did was help them with their homework, encourage them to do well in school and do my best to guide them the right direction. I also done weekend babysitting for family or family friends.

I worked with children in an after school programing ran through the city and I was a cordinator for my site which entailed me to run my site of 100+ students with 3 support staff and engaged the children in fun sports crafts and other activities as well as helped them with their homework on a daily bases and I have also been babysitting for local families since the age of 13 I do have some experience with working with kids with special needs and behavioral problems

I have worked with children my whole life in all capacities. I have been a babysitter since I was in Junior High. I have tutored and mentored all ages of children since high school. I love camp ministry and worked with children in that capacity for 5 summers. I work at a gym for kids age 5 month to 12 years, where I taught Motor Skill Development and gymnastics. I love Jesus and I know His love for me spurs me on to love people.
