Im 21 years old and I am applying for this job because I love children so much. I grew up watching all my siblings and cousins from birth until they have reached adolescence stage. I am the second oldest of 4 and I've watched my little siblings.I cook , do laundry, clean, help them with homework, supervise for the activities they do. For infant/toddler babies, I would change pampers, feed and play with them. I've gone to North Technical High School for Early Childcare and I've created activities and then supervised the children. For the children whom I worked with were ages from 2 to 5 years old. I also served them snack and make sure they were safe. I made lesson plans for the following subjects math, science, language, gross motor, music, and art. I think you should know that I am certified to do first aid and CPR
