Experience: 2 yrs
I am currently looking for child and adult care support roles. I have 7 years volunteer/personal experience and 2 years of paid experience caring for children between the ages of 7 months to 12 years old. I was a Jumpstart Corps Member and tutor in college and currently volunteer in Kids Ministry at my church. It's really taught me how to encourage and empower kids. Growing up, I took care of my younger brother with severe autism when my mother was at work. I would feed, bathe, and sometimes tuck him into bed at night. The last 3 years, I worked at a non-profit that cares for unhoused individuals. I provided trauma informed care and encouragement to adults and the elderly that suffer from mental and physical illness. I have experience handling emergency situations. I love to cook and enjoy cleaning; I am open to meal prep, cooking, organizing and cleaning. Overall, I am attentive, receptive to learning, dedicated and happy to help. Adult and Pediatric First Aid / CPR /AED trained.
Val has been such a blessing to my two sons and dozens of their friends at our church! She is compassionate and takes the time to get on each individual child's level so they feel heard, seen and loved. She is reliable and responsible; we'd trust her in any setting and with any age. Best of all, she is collaborative and flexible and open to coming together to think critically and find solutions to serve any family's specific need. She is a joy to spend time with in general and kids love her!
