A little bit about me

Hi! I am currently a nursing student pursuing my bachelors. I am 21 years old. I am very passionate in caring for children. I worked at Camp Keystone for two years as a counselor. The first year I worked with the age group 7-9 year olds. The second year I worked with the horses where I taught children of all ages how to ride and be safe with horses. In high school I was the president of the Agoura 4H where I ran club meetings and held fun activities for children. I consider myself a passionate, flexible and adaptive person. Growing up I had multiple nannies since my parents worked full time. Having a nanny that was caring and someone I looked up to was amazing to have. This transferred over to the way I care for children. I have excellent skills in planning, organizing, and prioritizing the children as well as household activities.!
