About Gwendolyn

I started working with kids when I was 14, I was a babysitter for low income families until the age of 18. At that age I knew I had to get a job that would pay my bills. At 21 I found a job as a Youth Leader where I was an afterschool teacher and worked with all ages. I left that job to pursue education once more because although I loved that job our hours kept getting cut. My skills include helping children on the spectrum because I have worked well with them in all of my childcare experience and understand that they need more one on one care. I also love encouraging creativity with children by preparing projects and asking them what creative activities they enjoy and would like to learn more about. I love reading to children as well, I have a dragon hand puppet that I use when reading to kids, giving him a silly voice and having him tell jokes about the book and encouraging kids to ask questions about the book.
