I have experience caring for children in several different settings, including working as a counselor at LINX Camps, babysitting, and helping care for younger siblings and family members. At LINX, I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, helping with activities, and making sure they felt included and comfortable throughout the day. I have also babysat independently, which has given me experience with routines, meals, playtime, cleaning up, and keeping children entertained in a safe way. Caring for younger siblings and relatives has also helped me become patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable handling different ages and personalities. I enjoy working with kids and take their safety and well-being seriously.
