Availability: I'm in Illinois for summer, but return to Lincoln mid-August. I don't have class Tues/Thurs, so I have a lot of flexibility those days (could split a full time position between two people). I love working with children. My junior and senior year of high school, I was an after school nanny for three elementary school aged children. During my sophomore year of college, I was an after school sitter for two elementary aged boys. For two summers, I babysat for a family with four kids. This summer and last, I nannied for 2 families with children aged 1-5. I volunteered for the youth program at my church for six years, performing many different tasks and taking on the leadership role of the prek-1st grade group. I have gained more experience through date night babysitting and being a mother’s helper. While babysitting, I enjoy playing outside, crafts, board games, Read more baking, science experiments, make believe, and reading. My goal is to always keep the children I watch engaged in enjoyable activities. I like to set up activities that promote childrens development along with creating a positive environment fostering learning and growth. I graduated High School in 2016 and am continuing my education to become an Occupational Therapist working with the pediatric population. Currently, I’m majoring in Psychology and getting a minor in Child, Youth, and Family studies.
