My name is Ava, I’m from Gloucester. I have around 8 years of child care experience. I have cared for infants up to 14 year olds. I have watched 1-4+ kids at a time, so play dates are not an issue. I enjoy cooking and housekeeping, making sure the home is cleaner/more organized for the family when they come home. I take children to playgrounds and other fun places for physical activity while making time for games, leaving the electronics to a minimum, unless the yucky weather calls for a good movie. I encourage independence while keeping the kids safe and happy. I also worked at Essex County Sheriff’s Department as a youth counselor. For this position I supervised children, provided assistance when needed, played games with them, arts and crafts and offered counseling and support. I also taught classes on the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, bullying prevention, Read more stranger danger and much more. I have a soft spot for kids and making their days a little better (parents too) is something I take pride in. I’m CPR and first responder certified, and have experience with children with special needs of all types; Down syndrome, adhd, physical disabilities, and more. I am a full time college student but I chose all online classes to create time for work. If you are interested and we can discuss a schedule that works for everyone, I would be honored to meet you!
