Write a messageI have loved working with children since I was a child. I became “babysitter certified” with the Red Cross when I was 12 and haven’t looked back.
I have been a camp counselor (day camp and overnight), camp unit leader, babysitter, and friend for hundreds of kids at this point. I am fascinated by the developmental milestones in children and how big and complex the personalities an emotions can be in such small, young people. I think my friends and family respect the bonds I have with younger generations because I have been asked to be a God Mother four times (and I’m only 29).
I have dozens of younger cousins and enjoy spending time with them at all ages. While my campers were mostly middle schoolers, I have babysat infants through junior high.
I was an excellent student and tutored in high school. (I would take the SAT math sections for fun when I was bored.) I also have ADHD and dyslexia, and while I was always an overachieving “gifted” student, I identify with learners who struggle with homework and assigned readings. I make an excellent body-doubler for any school or homework needs.
I love to read, and have often incorporated “reading hours” into my “summer programming” with my cousins. They call it “Camp KaTrayTray” when I take them off their parents’ hands for a day (or month) at a time and have fun.
