My name is Kate McCune, I am 23 years old and I am currently working towards my Early Childhood Education Degree. I come from a big family with many kiddos running around! I do well with children of all ages. I am good at communicating with children and effectively meeting their needs. Working in classrooms helped me become a fast thinker in all types of situations. Reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!:) Experience: I have five years of experience working as a nanny for a family that grew from two to five members during my time with them. My responsibilities included managing the children's schedules, engaging them in activities, doing laundry, and handling basic household chores. I also worked at Caughlin Preschool for eight months and cared for children aged 9-18 months. I followed a scheduled routine that included feeding, sensory activities, Read more and outdoor activities. During my two years at the Boys & Girls Club as a program instructor, I taught students from kindergarten through 6th grade. I developed and facilitated lessons based on the Boys and Girls Club curriculum, covering subjects like STEM programs, art, and team-building activities. I managed classroom sizes of up to 25 kids, and during the pandemic, I organized lessons for different age groups to maintain safety measures. In addition, I volunteered for four years at Northern Nevada R.A.V.E, providing one-on-one respite care to families with children with special needs, in foster care, and in adoptive care, as well as their siblings. I engaged the children in various activities and encouraged them to participate. Lastly, I have spent three years working as a substitute teacher throughout the Washoe County School District, teaching students throughout elementary, middle, and high school grades based on pre-made plans. Using classroom management skills and being able to adapt to situations
