Family Support Worker
|
I am looking to provide an individual or family with what they need to make it through the week, whether it be as a nanny, babysitter, or simply as a companion. I grew up in an ever-growing, highly diverse foster family which has helped shape me into the kind, caring, understanding, and hard-working individual I am today. As the oldest sibling in a family of 13, I have gained tons of experience looking after children of all ages. I have done a fair amount of babysitting for family friends and community members; I have also spent many hours volunteering in the church nursery as well. As a babysitter I have experience working with a variety of different family structures and dynamics. I have worked 1-1 with children, as well as cared for as many as 7 kids under the age of 10 all at once. I have worked with an extensively diverse selection of kids, many with medical or special needs.
I am currently a full-time university student (working toward my BA in Child and Youth studies). I have worked as a support worker for almost 3 years, so I have experience working 1-1 with children with disabilities.
