I have participated in the All Ohio State Fair Band since 2010, and am planning to participate again this year. I have been raised around children and have taken care of countless others besides family members since I was 12 years of age. I love to color and play pretend with the little ones to expand their imaginations and cognitive thinking skills as well as develop and encourage creative thinking. I also enjoy reading to the children to enhance their comprehension and encourage literacy. I am a small town girl looking to make it in my new home in the city, with me I bring small town morals. As much as I love to do with children I do have very few dislikes, such as snakes and abnormally large spiders (i. e. Tarantulas), as well as caring for more than 4 children at a time, I feel when I am in charge of that many children I cannot give each child the attention they deserve to get from me.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: No Religion        Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 0 references I have been caring for, or assisting in the care of young children since I was 12 years of age, and have obtained childcare experiences from caring for children of family friends.
