Patient and fun with strong leadership skills.

After high school, I worked at the elementary school I had attended as a child 5 days a week (2 hours daily) in their after school care program for nearly 4 school years with children ages 4-11. My responsibilities included organizing/supervising games and activities, assisting with homework, overseeing snack time, settling disputes and ensuring the children's safety at all times. I also worked in their summer camp programs with the same age groups, starting as an assistant in the first few years before eventually working as the primary activity leader for my assigned group of kids for two more summers, where my responsibilities were the same as during after school club, just with longer hours. I also did plenty of babysitting before that as well as during my time there, and additionally worked as a part time nanny for a family member while living in France last year, where I watched the two girls I looked after, fed them, walked them to and from clubs, took them for walks around the city, and generally kept them happy and entertained while their parents were at work.
