Ava Hadsell
Summary
Experienced child care worker with 4 years of hands on experience. I worked 2 years as a junior counselor at Hamlin where I Ied activities, kept kids engaged, and made sure they were safe and having fun throughout the day. Outside of camp I also worked as a child care worker for 5 families for the past 3 years. This has helped me connect with kids one-on-one, handle responsibilities such as meals and bedtime routines. Both experiences have helped me become more confident working with children and have made me realize how much I enjoy it.
