As a young child, I knew that I loved being around children. My mother ran a little family daycare in our home and I enjoyed helping care for these children as I always saw them as my younger siblings. During my freshman year of college, I was an interim nanny for a family of five children. Soon after, I declared my major in Child Development with a concentration in Early Childhood Care. I began working at a daycare on campus and was a teacher's assistant in a Toddler's and Preschool classroom for two and a half years. During that time, I also volunteered my time in the infant's classrooms. After my graduation in Spring 2012, I accepted an internship with Camp Adventure which is a contract partner with the military. I had the opportunity to travel to Key West, FL. to work on a military base at a child development center. While there, I worked as a pretoddler teacher for 4 months. I have also provided child care in my own home as well as my client's home. Currently, I only provide occasional care for one child who is 4 years old. I am also a Child Life volunteer for a children's hospital as well as a Hospice Volunteer specifically for the Geriatric population.
