By no means am I a recent college graduate, but I have been highly involved with my best friend's now 8 year old son, whom she adopted at birth. I have sat for him several times over a 4 year period! I also babysit my neighbor's 5 year old son. I am really great with kids, and my most recent work is as a disaster case manager supporting wildfire survivors. In the early days, I spent time watching kids in shelters as part of our approved work, so I am used to all types of kids with different issues, including trauma. I was also a Big Sister for Jewish Big Brothers and Sisters, although my Little was in high school. That is a vetted program where I had monthly check ins with the organization. I am extremely creative, fun, amd love to organize special and unique outings that are budget friendly and tailored to the child! Last week I took my neighbor's 5 year old to Home Depot and we embarked on a gardening project once returning home. My biggest strength is my sense of humor and creating laughter for kids. I also love turning kids on to creative activities, especially in nature, and creating fun surprise "challenges" for adults to discover upon returning home (this could be something as simple as a word puzzle with individual letters on egg carton containers).

I have several years of experience caring for children through babysitting, volunteering, and mentoring. I have helped care for my younger brother, who is autistic, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to meet each child’s individual needs. I’ve also volunteered with children through my church and community programs, served as a summer camp counselor for three summers, and mentored younger students as a Speech & Debate team captain. As a pre-med student, I value creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I am responsible, dependable, and enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents.
