My favorite activities to entertain children are numbered coloring (match the number with a color) Painting, Play-dou, or even something as simple as sitting down and reading a book. I also like going on short walks around the block to give the child some fresh air and to change up the environment to stimulate their senses (being stuck in the house can get boring for small kids and make them fussy/bored)

I love working with children because they see the world from such an optimistic perspective. Taking the time to just forget about the stress of college is an amazing feeling.

Currently, I am babysitting 2 children ages 3 and 5. I play, watch movies, and read to them. During the times when they want to play by themselves, I prep meals or tidy around the area.

Every child is different, and part of what I love about my job is that I get to help each one discover his own strengths and talents and nurture those traits through my educational approach. I enjoy refreshing my imagination and creative skills through activities parents and children alike plan and introduce. When you are a natural around children, they can definitely feel it. If you embrace the same passion and love for helping kids learn and enjoying the stage of childhood they're at, it becomes less of a job and more fun and easy for everyone.
