I have been working with kiddos of all ages, in many different capacities, for more than half of my life. I started babysitting around age 12 and continued it well into my late teens. I worked as an assistant preschool teacher and daycare supervisor from age 14 to age 17. After that, I worked as a camp counselor for a few different camps, 2 of them for 2 consecutive summers. Although I've had many different job titles, most of my work experience comes from the pool. I spent nearly a decade working as a swim instructor, specializing in mommy and me classes (infant-toddler) and working extensively with special needs students. I've worked as an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician), working mainly with children on the spectrum. And my most recent position, was nannying for the sweetest little man in the entire world. I was with their family for 3 years, little Read more E was about to turn 2, and when I left we had just celebrated his 5th birthday.
