I am a 22 year old student at Uvic and am working towards becoming a teacher. I love the company of kids, I love how they view the world and I love watching them learn something new every day. I love how they get excited about new experiences.
I have taken lots of first aide courses as I am qualified to be a lifeguard. This includes child and infant CPR and SFA.
I have a great imagination and am often told I have to heart of a child which I consider a huge compliment. I am also very responsible and have had experience watching young ones for most of my life. I have a large extended family and was looking after infants when I was 12. After high school I often cared for an 8 month old and his 2 year old brother until they were about 3 and 6. I also cared for another family with 2 boys aged 18 months and 3. I also spent a summer in high school with a 12 year old boy and his 7 year old sister.
I now have a niece who is almost 9 months and I have been very hands on with her throughout her life.
I think I bring more than just a watchful eye to the table, I bring a friendship that I hope will always be remembered by the children I spend time with.
I add more to the experience than just keeping an eye on children. I love to play with kids and have lots of energy and imagination. I interact with them in a way that I hope they will always remember. Because of this, I am fully investing my time and believe that it is worth $10-$12 dollars an hour depending on how much of my time I am investing.
