A little bit about me

I am the oldest of several siblings and genuinely appreciate spending time with and helping children. I graduated college in 2020 and after spending the last couple years in mostly remote, corporate settings, I'm hoping to spend the next year (potentially longer) in a different way that's more active and fulfilling for me. My longterm goal is going back to school to continue studying Economics, but I have many years of experience with childcare, teaching swim lessons, and academic tutoring across age groups (including early readers). I am a team player and happy to help with light housekeeping; I especially enjoy doing laundry.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Madeline I am the middle child of three girls and I took the role of the caregiver. I know how to cook, and clean. I have taught kindergartens to third graders in my local church for 5 years. I have also been babysitting since I was 15. I worked with an organization called metro-movement that teaches children from ages 3-13 how to cheer, how to do gymnastics, and how to dance in weekly classes along with teaching summer camps for around 2 years. So I am used to creating a daily agenda with activities to keep kids engaged. I am currently enrolled as an African American Studies major with a minor in History at Virginia Commonwealth University, and I hope to get accepted in their accelerated Nursing program and one day become a pediatric nurse. I am CPR certified, and fully vaccinated.

A little bit about me

Hello, Im Kelsey Brice, I have a detailed resume that I have available to send if interested! I am a very loving and patient person. I have dogs and have volunteered with animal shelters for a while now, which shows that I love to give back to my community as well as helping those who don't have much. I enjoy art, hiking, camping, being outdoors, museums of every kind, people from all over and most importantly learning new things every day. I am very caring, compassionate and practical. When situations come up I'm the person that jumps into action and figures out the best way to fix it without allowing it to create a bigger problem. I take constructive criticism very well and try to do my best to be the best I can, I enjoy hearing about things I can fix that way I know where I stand and how I'm preforming.
