More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes consistently babysitting throughout high school for multiple families, where I was trusted with evening and weekend care, handling bedtime routines, preparing simple meals, and managing multiple kids at once. I’ve also worked with children in a physical therapy setting, where I helped support sessions by keeping kids motivated and engaged, adapting activities to their interests, and learning how to respond to different energy levels and needs. Across these experiences, I’ve become comfortable stepping into a family’s routine, staying organized, and communicating clearly with parents about how things are going.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My favorite activities to do with children are anything that gets them moving, exploring, and having fun. I love spending time at parks and playgrounds, going to the pool, playing games outside, or going on little walks or adventures. I also enjoy more low key activities like crafts, reading together, or building things. I try to follow what the child is interested in and build activities around that, so it feels fun and natural while still keeping them active and engaged.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with children with special needs comes primarily from my time observing in a physical therapy setting. In that environment, I worked with children with a wide range of abilities and needs, and saw how important patience, flexibility, and encouragement are in helping them feel comfortable and successful. I learned how to adjust my approach based on each child, whether that meant breaking things down into smaller steps, using play to keep them engaged, or simply giving them the time and space they needed. It helped me become more attentive, understanding, and responsive to each child as an individual.
