My name is Colleen O'Connor and I am 20 years old. I attend Suffolk University as a Communications and Journalism Major. I am originally from the small town of Duxbury, Massachusetts; approximately 30 minutes south of Boston. I have a lot of experience in childcare because I babysat for years, including twins and a premature infant, was the basketball coach for my local Hoop Heroes team, a team created for children with mental disabilities, and a CCD teacher for two years including first, third, and sixth grade. I also come from a big family of eight so patience and hard work are something my family has prided ourselves on. I currently work for Independence Homecare as a caregiver to the elderly part time so caring for others is something I truly enjoy. I try to make babysitting fun for the kids by doing something active like going to the playground or playing games. I do not think that children should be left in front of the TV or the computer so I like to keep them busy. I am also available to help with any homework they may have. I don't mind doing light cooking or cleaning as necessary and overall just love working with children.
