Hello! My name is Skyler Clarkson. I am a senior Theater and Secondary Education major at the University of Indianapolis. I have always had a passion with working with children of any age, and so am interested in babysitting and nannying this summer. The majority of my experience with working with children comes as part of my education degree. For the last four years, each semester, I have been required to spend time in classrooms across the secondary education grade range (6-12th). In this role, I have observed students, interacted and bonded with them, guided and supported them in their educational goals, and of course planned lessons and taught them. Outside of my direct involvement in the classroom, I have also been educated in several matters of child development and psychology. In addition to this secondary education experience, I also have experience working with younger children as well. This last Read more summer, I was a camp counselor at Camp Ability with Easterseals Crossroads, specifically caring for children between 4 and 10 with physical, intellectual, and emotional disabilities. In this role, I played with the campers, supported and guided them, assisted them with various tasks, and helped to plan various enrichment activities for them throughout the day. Things that would set me apart from other candidates is my background in education and camp counseling. my strong ability to effectively communicate with children and parents alike, and a fun, positive attitude that children gravitate towards. Regarding other qualifications, requirements, and responsibilities, I do have my own car and a license to drive it. I also am CPR and First Aid certified. I am willing and capable of driving your children, preparing meals, housekeeping and laundry, and sick care. I am also more than happy to plan activities both inside and outside the house for the children to participate in, like board games, arts and crafts, visits to local parks and pools, and perhaps even visits to museums and theaters, depending on parent ability to cover said activities. I'm also more than happy to plan other activities out with you, as well! I will be available starting the 20th of May, and will be available on weekdays until the end of July. As a note, I am only available on weekdays, and not on weekends.
