A little bit about me

I am the oldest sibling of 5 and come from a huge family! My Dad has 11 siblings and my Mom has 4, so family dynamics is all I have ever known. I was the mature and responsible child so I was constantly supervising and taking care of my younger siblings and cousins or close family friends. As I got older, I started doing more volunteer experiences like with my church and school. I was a Junior Camp Counselor, helped with Sunday School, and babysat a lot because it was what I was taught to do. When I entered College, specifically when I was 19 and moved to Columbus in 2018, I started babysitting for a job. I have since then been a paid tutor, babysitter, and nanny. I just left a position where I was the Head School Age Teacher at a local day care. I also have volunteered at YoungLife Summer Camps for 4 years where I served in many different roles and also helped with the camp session for Teen Mothers.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Perla! I'd describe my personality as fun, loving and patient.
I started working with children ever since my mother started her home day care. There, I realized I loved working and caring for children. I started to pursue an interest in Early Childhood Development courses and I’m currently working on my AA.
I like working with children because they have a way of bringing you into their world and enjoy and appreciate the little things in life that now as grown ups we tend to forget. Children are just amazing, and I get to be a part of their life even if its just a few hours a day but knowing that I am helping them develop and grow is such a joy.
I'm looking for a job that allows me to care for the child a few days a week/hrs even for date nights or just to give parents a lending hand. I am willing to be CPR/FIRST AID certified and I am currently fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and follow strict CDC guideline.
