I am currently a senior at Upper Dublin High School and plan to major in Early Childhood Education because I am passionate about working with children and creating a positive learning environment. I have experience working with kids through summer camps, babysitting, and childcare settings, where I learned how to supervise children, keep them safe, and help them stay engaged in activities. I have worked as a camp counselor caring for groups of young children and helping with daily routines, participation, and behavior management. I have also completed childcare health and safety training focused on supervision, emergency preparedness, safe environments, and child development. Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication, leadership, patience, and problem-solving skills that help me connect well with both children and families.
