About Summer

Hello, my name is Eli and I'm new to Oregon! I recently moved here from Texas, where I worked as an instructor at a children's swimming school for the last 9 months! I loved my job, and I had a lot of fun working with and building relationships with the kids I taught. It's one of the things I miss most about living in Texas! I'm looking forward to more opportunities to work with children, since I think it's what I do best. I like working with kids because I think they're a lot of fun! I love to be a positive source of trust that they know they can reach out to, and I love helping them learn. In my spare time, I like to watch movies and I'm a huge fan of music. I'll listen to pretty much anything. I also love to swim, and go on walks! My skills include patience, empathy, and understanding. I strongly believe in making sure children have their voices heard and I will put in a lot of effort to make sure it happens!
