I am 19 years old and attend Trent University (Oshawa). I am in my first year of BSH Psychology. I have many years of experiencing working with children in various settings. I have been a camp counsellor and lifeguard for four years, and I work in the JK/SK classroom at my church each month. I have been a part-time nanny for the past six months as well. I also have a lifetime of experience working with children who have special needs. My younger sister has autism, so children with special needs have always had a place in my heart. I have been a personal worker for a few children at my church, and I work in the developmentally handicapped classroom at my high school during every lunch period. My hobbies include playing the piano, writing, reading, and swimming. My favourite experience was the mission trip to Africa that I participated on last August. I worked with many children of many different ages and needs, and it was a life-changing trip. I also have my Standard First Aid and CPR-C qualifications, and I am additionally qualified in HCP-CPR. I cook, bake, and clean daily for my family. In the past I have babysat multiple times a week, but the children who I used to babysit are almost grown up now. I am able to take initiative and complete any necessary tasks. I am patient, reliable, energetic, creative, enthusiastic, a good listener, and have a passion for children of all ages and needs.
