Hello! As a teenager, I lifeguarded for a very busy water park, and I learned to govern a child's behavior to keep them safe as well as interact with them in a manner that keeps the tone playful, yet informative. I taught countless swim classes over the summers with young children to pre-teens, and I found that maintaining a relational bond with kids makes the learning process stronger. I grew up with siblings over ten years younger than me and have spent their early years managing their behavior, learning habits, and their fun. I have also babysat for neighbors, especially during high school and after high school. I would love to find a family to connect with and provide meaningful, engaging care for!
