I am originally from the United States, and I am here in New Zealand on a working holiday visa for the year. My previous experience working with children includes spending four summers as a overnight summer camp counselor back home in the States, and I babysat throughout my years in high school for families in my neighborhood. I also have two younger siblings (with a significant age gap between us, they are 10 and 12 years younger than I am) so I spent the better part of my teenager years in a household with small children.
