More About Me

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

In my previous role as a camp counselor, I had the opportunity to work with children of ages, from 3 to 14 in a structured outdoor environment. Responsible for supervising daily activities, ensuring the safety and well-being of each child, fostering a positive atmosphere. This helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to manage multiple tasks while keeping children engaged and safe. I led group activities such as arts and crafts, team-building games, nature walks, and educational workshops. I had the privilege of babysitting for a family with children of a 6 month old and 3 year old. Responsible for providing a safe and nurturing environment while also offering fun, educational activities tailored to each child’s age and interests. Duties included preparing meals and snacks, managing bedtime routines, and organizing activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, or quiet time. Experienced in handling daily tasks such as diapering and bottle feeding.
