Child Care Provider - LAUREN B. (User #413427) A child care provider in West Hartford, CT 06117

Hello,

I am currently a Senior at the University of Hartford. I am majoring in special and elementary education. I enjoy working with children of all ages, and of all abilities. I began working with children at the age of 12 with the assistance of my mother. I began babysitting at the age of 14, and have worked with children ranging from newborns to 17 years of age. I enjoy working with children of all abilities and have worked with several children with various disabilities (both mental and physical). During the summers I worked at a day care center. I began working there as a counselor in training at the age of 14 working with Pre-K children. I worked as an assistant head teacher in the classrooms containing: 1-2 year olds, 2-3 year olds, 3-4 year olds and 4-5 year olds. I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and 2 semesters in college.  I also took a semester of sign language in college. I have never come across a child that was too difficult to work with, and enjoy a challenge. I enjoy doing arts and crafts while babysitting and doing outdoor activities. I was on my high schools Varsity swim team and was a manager for the girl tennis team. I will respect all parents’ wishes and I am eager to attend to each child’s needs.
