Hi! My name is Amber and I am currently a senior at UNI. I'm currently looking for a flexible or even structured job for extra cash and more job experience. I'm going to school for Elementary Education with a Special Ed endorsement, minoring in Psychology. I love children and I have worked with children for 9 years now. I have had experience with children from the age of 3 months- 23 years old. I have been a respite care giver for special needs children for 8 years now for three different family homes while I was in high school and during the summer months. I know basic sign language and I am very familiar with children with special needs and disabilities. I'm 22 years old (just about 23) and I'm a very outgoing, energetic person who loves arts and crafts and being engaged and active. Games, activities, crafts, walks, parks, etc. are all things I enjoy doing while babysitting! I don't mind cleaning, cooking, bathing, laundry, or transportation to activities whatsoever! I have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers. I used to babysit my best friend's child since he was 3 months old, three times a week for a year. I have a valid license and a reliable SUV. I have a clean record and a background check per UNI's requirements into the Education major. I'm CPI and CPR certified as well! I have references if references are needed as well. I'm a non-smoker, who also loves all animals! I'm more than willing to work on weekends when needed and if I'm available. My fall semester schedule is present below. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me with any questions, inquiries, or concerns. Thank you! My current schedule is the following: Monday: Class 10-11:50, 1-1:50, 4-4:50, free rest of night Tuesday: Class 8 am-12:15 pm, Free rest of the day Wednesday: Class 10-11:50, 1-1:50, 4-4:50, free rest of night Thursday: Class 8-12:15, Free rest of the day Friday: Class 10-11:50, 1-1:50, Free rest of day Saturday: Flexible Sunday: Flexible
