About Russell

Hello! My name is Russell, I am an experienced child care worker with a passion for creating positive and meaningful experiences for children. I have cared for children between 3 - 12 years of age. My first experience working with kids was 10 years ago when I was a senior in high school and needed community volunteer hours. I volunteered at a local elementary school and quickly realized that this was something I loved. Over the years I worked off and on in child care until 2020 when I began working in with kids for the YMCA. I spent four years as a Counselor/Site Supervisor for the YMCA afterschool program and as Camp Coordinator for their summer camp. I also spent time assisting in the Y's preschool. Every child is unique and has so much to learn about themselves as they grow. That is what I love so much about child care - lending a helping hand in discovering and recognizing their unique abilities and potential.
