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 to watch children grow. From the time I first start babysitting and getting used to the children to the time when I am very comfortable with them and them with me, I love seeing our growth together. I also enjoy the surprise factor. You never know what will go on from day to day with kids and I love that it helps to keep me on my toes.

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.

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.

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.

My favorite thing about working with children is experiencing the freedom of imagination and creativity they possess. I entertain children through captivating their imagination in various activities such as spelling competitions, dancing to music, playing informative online, board or card games such as "Heads Up", Uno, Scramble etc, baking, and watching a good movie.
