Colorado College

I have been babysitting for 10 years (ages 1-13), and am hoping to eventually go to graduate school for education. I graduated from Colorado College with a degree in environmental science. I have worked in education since for the past 9 years (ages 7-11), volunteered many hours in classrooms (ages 7-19), and my current position is as a Site Director with the YMCA. My experience is most commonly with preschool aged students, but I love all kids. I can help with homework, take kids to activities, go for walks, and play games. I like getting to know the kids I m babysitting and tailoring my time with them to their interests. I love arts and crafts and spending time outside. I am happy to do dishes, clean up around the house, and any other household chores needed. If you would like to hear from a reference I can send the numbers of other families or coworkers I have worked for or with.

I am a graduating high school senior. While I have not had any formal employment caring for children, I have volunteered on numerous occasions and extensive experience caring for and working with children. In addition to being a babysitter, I am also willing to provide senior care, tutoring, and pet care.

Fun, energetic gal looking to help some families out and make some cash on the side. I have been babysitting since the age of 14, so I have roughly 15 years of experience. I have worked at several youth camps, assisted in an in house day care, and I work in the long term care health industry. I feel comfortable with children ages 1 year to 15 years of age. I prefer not to work with any younger than 1 year of age. I would not only provide exceptional care for your child/children, but be happy to tidy up around the house if needed. I have plenty of references that I would be happy to provide.

I'm Laura, and I'm a senior at Colorado College, a small, private school ranked 31 on Forbes' list of Best Colleges of 2011. I'm a political science major with a 3. 95 GPA. My studies have given me a keen understanding of the spoken and written word, and an extensive knowledge of this country's history. I was recently offered a job as an ACT tutor by the Princeton Review. My own ACT composite score was 34, and my SAT was 2210. I know what it takes to succeed on those tests, and I know how important they are to those looking towards college. I have quite a bit of tutoring experience. I was deeply involved in a tutoring program in high school, where I mainly tutored students in English and French (the latter of which, I'm sorry to say, I've forgotten too much of to keep on my resume!). Through my college career, I have helped students prep for the AP US Government exam, a class that spans most of US history. More sporadically, I have served as a writing tutor for many students throughout my years in high school and college. Intimidation is not my goal. My style is laid-back and low-stress. I'm young, and I was in high school and middle school not so long ago. I'd rather relate to my students than give them the impression that I can hardly remember when I was their age! I am a visual person, so I almost always come armed with outlines, diagrams, or pictures to shed light on whatever I am teaching. Thanks for visiting! I'm trying not to make this too wordy, so if you're interested or have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

I began baby-sitting at the ripe age of 12, after taking a baby-sitter certification class at the local middle school. From there I went on to volunteer at the Children's Hospital, which often entailed running the hospital's daycare center. I've always loved spending time with children, I so love their inquisitiveness and enthrallment with life. Spending time with children gives one an appreciation for even the smallest of life's pleasures and teaches patience.
