“ In middle school and high school I babysat weekly for two different families. One family had a 5-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. The other family had two boys, ages eight and 9 years old. I also babysat occasionally for a family of four girls, ranging in age from five to 11.

In middle school and high school I babysat weekly for two different families. One family had a 5-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. The other family had two boys, ages eight and 9 years old. I also babysat occasionally for a family of four girls, ranging in age from five to 11.

I was the children's church director at my family's church for four years. In my senior year of high school I was hired to teach eighth grade English at a missionary school in Mexico City, Mexico, where my family lived. In the summer of 2009 I was a summer day camp counselor at a YMCA camp, working with the kindergarten and first grade group. The following summer I worked at the same camp with second and third graders. From the Fall of 2008 through spring of 2011 I worked at the nursery of a large church, with infants, two and 3-year-olds, and a group of children ages six to 10.

I have spent the last year working as a Nanny/Mother's Helper for a family with four children. My duties included teaching the three oldest children, who were all home-schooled, transporting the youngest child to and from preschool, driving the children to music lessons, preparing meals, doing housework and laundry, and caring for the family's two dogs when they were out of town.

I have a passion for challenging children to expand their knowledge and understanding. I believe that children are full of potential and eagerness to learn, and that the more this excitement for learning is encouraged and guided, the better equipped they will be to interact with the world around them and grow up to be balanced, happy individuals. I love to spend time with children and hear the unique way they think about the world.
