I love being around children of all ages and can provide multiple references. I try to use a balance between patience and firmness. If a child is misbehaving, they almost always know that they are acting in an unacceptable manner, but perhaps they need to be reminded by simply telling them what a punishment might be if this behavior is continued. Other than disapline, I like to interact with the kids by participating in their game or activity.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   7 years experience, 3 references Most recently this summer I was living in a cabin with 13 girls at Camp Iroquois Springs located in New York, but before that I worked for 4 years professionally at LeBlond Boys and Girls club and got experience in tutoring, conducting swim lessons, and interacting with children from ages 6-18.
