Hello, I am currently in college and pursuing a degree in teaching. I absolutely love working with kids and have had lots of experience. I am currently a volunteer working in my churches kindergarten classroom and I have also worked with ages 0-12 at my church. I also dog/pet sit. I enjoy playing and planning activities to do with the children. Going for walks, doing chalk, and playing games are just a few things I enjoy. I have also worked at a summer camp at a park district last summer. I am willing to cook, clean, do laundry and run errands.
