A little bit about me

Hi my name is chana shull, I have had experience with kids since i was 13 years old and i am now 26. I used to babysit the kids around my neighborhood and had a community center across the street where i would assist preschool teachers for afterschool or for camp! I ended up getting a job there working as a lifeguard/ swim instructor. So i am CPR/firstaid/ and swim instructor certified. I have worked with newborns all the way to 5th graders and special needs, and this has been my home for the past 8 years. This job has taught me how to talk to children and calm them down and since i also worked with 12 kids at a time it helped me be able to control 12 screaming kids (lol). I would also work at their summer camp and i did that the past 3 summers. I have always had a relationship with the kids i have taught and the parents and usually end up babysitting them in my off time. I love working with kids and hope you would see me as a potential! Thank you :)
