Summary
I’m a responsible and patient student with hands-on childcare experience in both daycare and summer camp settings. I’ve worked with kids of different ages and really enjoy helping them learn, stay engaged, and feel supported. I’m comfortable managing groups, assisting with activities, and creating a positive environment. I genuinely love working with children and I’m looking for opportunities where I can continue to grow while making a difference in their day.
