Summary

I'm friendly and good with children of all ages. I have volunteered for many special events at WDLC (face painting, cat in the hat, etc.) I've worked with many age groups from several months to 11 years old. Certified CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard through the Red cross. I've been baby sitting for a little over 3 years as well as camp counselor at Camp Piankatank last year and will be working there again this coming June through August. I plan on attending RCC in the fall to pursue a degree in early childhood education.
