Hi! I am a reliable, energetic, and patient person with 6 years of experience working with children, in an assistant teacher setting and babysitting, and 1 summer of experience as a sleep away camp counselor. I can bring fun ideas for crafts but am also willing to follow your child’s lead, this can mean video games, toys, sports, etc. I can take them to the park or their after school/summer activities, and I am willing to facilitate play dates with other children. I am also willing help with other tasks if needed (light cleaning, laundry, etc). I don’t have much experience with helping with homework, but I’m willing to try to assist in any way I can. I also enjoy reading, so if the child needs/wants story time or an allotted time for reading, I’m happy to help.
