Meet Elbetel

Hello! My name is Elbetel Gulilat and I will be attending UNC Charlotte this fall as a Pre-Nursing major. I grew up in Fuquay Varina, NC but was born and raised for three years in Ethiopia, a small country in East Africa. I live with both my parents and have two brothers and one sister! My experience with children started when I became an older sister to my younger brother and then my younger sister. I became their babysitters on a regular basis investing a lot of my time into their lives. From there I became the neighborhood babysitter gaining a lot of experience with kids at a young age. I was also very involved in the nursery at my church along with teaching Sunday school, giving me my first experiences as a teacher. Babysitting turned into nannying, which was my past summer jobs for the last three summers. During Read more the school year, I work at an after care program for the Ethiopian community in our area. The age range I work with there are pre-k through third grade in an educational and fun leader role. I really enjoy seeing children in both an educational and non-educational setting. I really enjoy life and being goofy is one of my favorite things to do with children. I like to play, use creative play, use our imaginations, be active, read, and have fun with children. I also really enjoy challenging kids and adding in educational aspects to play, asking children why and how, and taking their knowledge and understanding one step further. I think every child has such great potential and I thoroughly enjoy getting to know every child as individuals and have their needs met. I really enjoy seeing how children's minds work and think there is so much we can learn from children! Some of my activities and hobbies are music, arts and crafts, exercise, and school! I thoroughly enjoy learning especially since it's all based on the student and child. I have learned a lot about kids through schooling, but am always learning something new and exciting through experiences with children.
