Hi! I'm Apryl. I'm 24 and have 8+ years of experience as a full-time caregiver of my younger brother. He has a rare genetic condition that limits his functions to those of a 1-year-old. Our mom is now retired and has taken over his care, so I'm looking to help take care of other kids and eventually get into the elementary education system. I enjoy reading and being creative. I'm so excited to come up with activities, crafts, and fun things to do that also promote learning. I am nurturing, attentive, adaptable, and kind; but I also know when to maintain boundaries and rules. Kids have big feelings in little bodies — bringing calmness to chaotic situations is one of my super powers! I’m excellent at reading non-verbal cues/body language, taking care of children with special needs, and knowing when little ones need some extra attention or given space. I understand the significance of choosing a caregiver that’s the right fit for your family. Your house, your rules — I will respect your routine, expectations, etc while keeping your child(ren) safe as they grow into amazing people.My extensive experience caring for my disabled brother has prepared me and given me the skills to be a reliable and competent caregiver for kids of all ages and abilities. Caring for others is part of who I am, and I'd love to be a positive part of your little ones’ day!Some of my skills and experience: - Changing diapers - Preparing meals and feeding - Transportation and car safety (buckled in properly, getting in/out, etc)- Bathing and dressing - Overall emotional and mental care (crying, tantrums, etc)- Ability to quickly adapt and stay calm during any situation and/or sudden mood change - Ability to create a safe environment that allows a child to express themselves and have fun I graduated high school in 2020 with a 3.96 GPA and completed almost two years of college. My major was Elementary Education with a 3.925 GPA. Some of the courses I took were:- Math for Elementary Teachers 1 & 2 - Instructional Technology for the Classroom - Students with Disabilities - Psychology- Sociology- And several of the general college curriculum classesI do want to mention that I am not CPR/First Aid certified yet, but I have a class scheduled for June 20th and will hopefully be after that.
