Babysit two girls on occasional weekdays and weekends. While I am with the girls we engage in games, worked on puzzles, and read books. I ensure proper communication is had with the parents so the children are fed and spend our time with planned, fun outings and educational activities to keep children entertained.

Took care of a 6 month old and 3 year old in their home full time. While supporting their parents in caring for both girls I would support and guide the children with encouraged social and emotional development. As well building strong relationships to confidently support them with conflict resolution, teaching compassion, patience, understanding, and honesty. During my time with the girls, I Implemented daily routines and activities to stimulate and engage in ways that would help with school and real world situations. Some other tasks I took on were school pick up and drop off, driving to their sports and activities, guiding in after play clean ups, and prepared and served meals and snacks.

Took care of two girls from babies to ages 8 and 6. During my time with this family some of my duties were creating routines involving nap time, eating schedules, and daily outings including park time. I engaged the girls in social events such as play dates to encourage their social and emotional growth, and well thought decision making. When in school we worked on schoolwork, educational activities, reading, and free play that helped develop and stimulate freedom of imagination, understanding, and respect.
