Growing up in a big family as the oldest girl cousin, I was always surrounded by kids. From a young age, I loved playing with and taking care of my many younger cousins. This naturally led to my passion for working with children. I genuinely enjoy being around kids, watching them explore the world, and seeing their creativity and unique perspectives in action. I have plenty of experience with children of all ages. I frequently babysat for my aunts, getting lots of hands-on experience. In college, I took several child development classes, which gave me a deeper understanding of kids and their needs. Last spring, I worked as a substitute teacher for all grade levels, giving me a wide range of experience in managing and engaging with children in a school setting. What makes me stand out is my genuine love for working with kids and my broad experience with Read more different age groups. I combine practical experience from babysitting within my family with professional experience as a substitute teacher. My background in child development helps me create a nurturing and stimulating environment. I'm reliable, patient, and adaptable, always tailoring my approach to meet each child's unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can thrive and parents can feel at ease
