I grew up in a small immediate family with two older brothers. I am fortunate enough to have a large extended family consisting both of relatives and family friends. When I was 16, I was lucky to have my family extended even more by the addition of my step-father and his family, making us a family of ten. Being the youngest on my father's side of the family, I have grown up with the experience of meeting and watching the next generation grow. I have been fortunate to care for many of my family members' children, as well as, the children of some family friends. Four years ago, I proudly became the aunt of a beautiful niece, and a year ago again, to an adorable little nephew. Throughout high school, I assisted a kindergarten and first grade class for one year and a second grade class for two years. I helped the students fix in class assignments in order to help them progress further. In my personal time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and being around family and friends. However, I prefer to stay active above all.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, French    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   0 years experience, 3 references Although I have not had professional experience caring for children, I have cared for the children of family members and family friends. My experience as an aunt has given me ease when caring for children. I would care for children by not only providing basic needs, but also showering them with the same love I would give to my niece and nephew. The children would stay active, partaking in activities that are not only fun but educational as well. As a person that likes to stay active and enjoy the outdoors, I would frequently try to take the children out to the park, walks, or small hikes depending on the child's age.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age   Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree  I graduated in May of 2012 from Indiana University Bloomington with a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology and a minor in Marketing.
