I grew up with a sister who is 10 years younger than me, so throughout middle school and high school, I cared for her and some of her friends. At college, I volunteered at my school's daycare for two years and worked with toddlers and preschoolers. I also cared for a boy who's family I met at daycare during my senior year at college. For a summer during college, I worked with children who have special needs and enjoyed planning various activities as well as playing and swimming outside and provided childcare full-time for a family with two girls in elementary school. After college, I worked at a psychiatric hospital in Pennsylvania where I planned creative activities for and supported and assisted many patients in the hospital. More recently, I have completed a 10-month term of service with AmeriCorps NCCC and have worked with various nonprofits throughout the west coast.
