Hello families. My name is Amy and I am a 16 year old student at an arts school in Toronto. I believe that the most imperative aspects for you to be aware of are: 1. I absolutely adore children of all ages and 2. I have a great deal of experience with children. I have been caring for children from the ages of 1-7 since I was twelve years old. I first began as a recess monitor at my elementary school, which required me to ensure the safety of 20+ children (ages 4-5) as well as play games and entertain everyone of the students. I then began to babysit my cousins, ages 1 and 3, when I was twelve. My duties included diaper changing, preparing healthy snacks for both children, playing intellectual (and non-intellectual) games as well as preparing them for bed (washroom, brushing teeth, changing into pj\'s, reading story and tucking them in. ) I still continue to babysit these wonderful boys along with their new baby brother who is now 1. I even took the three boys along with my two other cousins (aged 1 and 5) to Great Wolf Lodge with the help of my adult cousin. I have to admit, it was hard work but it was so much fun. I have grown a sibling-like relationship with each one of my younger cousins and I love them as if they were my own. Since the beginning of my babysitting career, I have babysat for two more families. Both families included two boys, however, one family\'s children were aged 1 and 5 and the others were aged 5 and 7. Nonetheless, I babysat for both families for a long period of time and built strong bongs with each of the children.
I aspire to be an elementary school teacher. I cannot imagine my life without caring for children. I believe that working with children is my vocation. I hope you enjoyed reading about me and I cannot wait to hear from you.
