Kind and cheerful young adult with a desire to take on new challenges and gain some experience in childcare. Strong work ethic and adept at working effectively unsupervised, and quickly mastering new skills. Currently looking to further her education in the field of elementary education. I was a reliable babysitter in high school and provided care and supervision to children of various ages. Experience includes meal preparation, light housekeeping, and organizing engaging activities. Strengths lie in ability to create safe, nurturing environments while maintaining structure and discipline. Proven ability to positively impact child development through educational play and compassionate interaction.
I spent the first 8 years of my life taking care of my siblings who are 2 and 4 years younger than me, from changing diapers to teaching my sister how to read. However once my parents divorced I majority of my childhood helping my grandmother with numerous house projects including but not limited too; tending to her enormous garden every summer, building chicken coops and small sheds, cleaning rich houses for her business, and doing little odd end stuff such as doing yard work or helping her organize her basement again and again. Then when I was around 14/15 I volunteered at different nursing homes with my grandma keeping my sweet elders company and doing small tasks for them. And during that time, I believe from the age of 15 to 17 I was volunteering at my church every Sunday teaching a children's class and babysitting for people at the church including one woman with 5 boys who I babysat for on a regular basis, though I stopped these extracurriculars once I got a part-time job my senior year of high school. During that time I wanted to pursue a career in elementary education however my life took quite a turn days before I graduated high school. I got the news that my mother was days from passing and due to me being 18 at the time and next of kin I had to sign the end of life order the day before I graduated high school. So I took a few years off of school and have overworked myself at a few fast food places trying to make decent money for the last few years. But am currently applying for colleges and taking classes for my first aid and cpr certification to try to have a career instead of a job.
