My favorite thing about kids is their imagination and curiosity! I love listening to their stories and playing dress up or doing arts and crafts. I'm a big kid at heart who loves everything Disney and coloring pictures! If I were a parent looking for a babysitter, I'd want a responsible adult who can provide a safe and fun environment for their children. That's who I am as a babysitter!

My favorite thing about working with children is how much you can truly learn from them! Sometimes they can make me realize something I never even thought about. I also love how when I play with children my inner kid comes out.

I learn from the children just as much as anything I could teach them, they remind me that its the simple, sometimes small things in life that make you happy

One of the best aspects of children is their innate sense of wonder and awe. The most rewarding experience of providing childcare, whether that be tutoring, babysitting, or working at a daycare, is watching a child discover something or learn something for the first time. Their eyes light up and you can see that "click" moment when this previously unknown aspect of life suddenly makes sense. While working at Pine Grove Early Learning Center, I enjoyed preparing hands-on activities for the children that allowed them to use their imagination, have fun, and also provide educational benefits. As an avid reader myself, I find that adding "book-time" to a child's day is invaluable in that it stimulates a child's imagination, teaches them about experiences of others, and hearing their sometimes unexpected comments and observations is always a highlight to any care-giver.

What I love most about working with children is being able to watch them grow mentally and develop a strong sense of self and confidence. In an era where children are surrounded by technology and are being influenced heavily by media, I think it is important for children to have some time away from technology. Thus, besides from watching movies and listening to music I like to make sure that kids are being creative whether that be playing with dolls (or action figures), playing board games, going to the park, etc.

I love working with children because it allows me to be spontaneous, imaginative, and creative and creates overall smiles and laughter. Some activities I enjoy are sports, arts and crafts, watching movies, having dance parties, and playing games.

I love working with children because I enjoy helping them aspire to be their best for when they get older.

I love being silly and fun with kids. They have an infectious spirit and I love to make them laugh as well as provide a safe and positive environment for them!

I love working with kids and helping them develop key developmental and social skills through activities such as story telling, music, dancing, arts and craft, and baking.

My favorite thing about working with children is seeing the pure joy on their faces when they are doing something they love. Crafts, playing outside, or going to the park are all activities I love just as much as the kids.
