Favorite Crayola color: Forest Green
Background: At age 13 I started working yearly at a summer camp as an assistant and lead counselor for kids that ranged 5 - 12 years old. I have also worked in after care at my old school which included taking care of kids ages 5 - 15, and helping them with homework. In addition to both of those, I have babysat for countless family members, family friends, parents' coworkers; these are the settings where I cared for infants and toddlers. I am pursuing a degree in elementary education with a minor in child development at FSU. I have also worked with kids who have severe ADHD and anxiety, autistic kids, and kids with allergies or sensitivities.
On my own, I’ve cared for children as young as: 3 months old
Future plans: I want to graduate FSU with my degree in elementary education and start teaching K-2nd grade at an elementary school.
When I'm not babysitting: I love to read, I am always happy to try a new coffee shop, and I love doing fun activities with my friends.
