Hi. I have been providing care since I was 15 years old and I am now 23 years old. I first started working in childcare in high school. I started my childcare experience by working as a babysitter. Since I was mature and responsible for age 15, my family and family friends trusted me to care for their children, so I began assisting parents in the evenings and nights. I continued to babysit through high school and into college. Once I started college I began to nanny. Since my schedule was consistent, I was able to take more consistent and recurring jobs. I also began to work with parents helping when one person was home alone with the children or if the parents were in the house, but could not be with the children. After my first summer in college and for the next two summers I worked as a senior camp counselor. As a counselor I was responsible for creating, planning, and organizing indoor and outdoor activities, swimming everyday, and overseeing and interacting with children. In my junior year of college I worked as teacher's assistant in a daycare center and aftercare program. In this position I was responsible for assisting teachers with different activities, cleaning the classroom at the end of the day, giving the children meals and snacks, providing educational and entertaining play.
