I love children and I love taking care of them. When I was 15 I began babysitting three children ages five and under after school, as well as I joined Best Buddies at my school, spending time with children with special needs. I have over a year's experience babysitting a child with Down Syndrome. I also have almost three years of experience working at a daycare. I occasionally babysit children from that school on weekends, although I do not currently work there. During my freshman year of college I worked as a teaching assistant at a private preschool in MA. My most recent child care jobs were this past year. My regularly scheduled job was driving a 12-year-old boy from school to his karate lessons, as well as overseeing his chores and homework, and occasionally caring for their family dog. Additionally, I babysat on an as-needed basis a family with a 4-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education and Psychology, beginning my senior year in the fall, and likely student teaching Fall 2014 and receiving my degree that December. School is very important to me, and I have made the Dean's List these past two semesters. As for my interests, I enjoy sports as well as the arts. I played basketball for eight years, took piano and saxophone lessons, and also took lessons in a variety of dance styles such as ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical. When babysitting, I love playing outside with the children and involving them in a variety of activities. I truly enjoy and care about children and am excited to make a career out of helping them succeed in life.
