I love being with kids because they are so much fun to be with and also teach them to be respectable with others and plays games with them.

Getting to know them and their personality. Enjoying their company and learning from them.

My favorite thing about working with children is watching them grow and develop as individuals, and forming a close and trusting relationship with the children I work with.

I love sharing my passion for learning with kids through play. I believe play is not only tons of fun but also a chance to stretch and grow kids' minds. Something as simple as a game of tag for example is a blast and also teaches kids the value of exercise and working hard for what you want. In my various capacities of working with kids over 7 years, I have a full arsenal of fun games and activities to do with kids. I also love seeing kids' imaginations go wild as they do crafts, make art and play. I am also a full believer in playing WITH kids, not just watching them. I remember it being so much more fun growing up when the adults in my life made the time to spend time with me and do what I was doing and I implement this in the way I deal with children.

My favorite thing about working with kids is knowing that I can have an immediate positive impact on their growth. As an occupational therapist major, I am hoping to one day work with kids, so this would be a great opportunity to gain experience. Being an equestrian, I enjoy being outside, so if your kids enjoy the outdoors as much as I do, you're in luck! If the weather is bad, I like to play card or board games or play hide-and-seek. I love doing arts and crafts as well. If you're comfortable with your children driving in my car, I can take them to the Turtle Back Zoo, parks, and pools! During the school year, I can help not only with drop-offs, but also help with homework after school or evening.

As an athlete, I enjoy most forms of physical activity. I also like to bake, read, listen to music, and color for relaxation.

I enjoy working with children that are energetic and like to keep moving. I enjoy outdoor activities, but also enjoy rainy day activities like puzzles and games.
