About Violet

I'd describe my personality as welcoming, kind, and friendly I like working with kids because they bring out the kids in ourselves. I'm looking for a job that would allow me to work part time as I am finishing my engineering degree at the University of Minnesota. I started working with kids when I was 10. My first job was babysitting kids of all ages, from a couple months to 5yrs old. I then worked at an elementary school in high school doing the after school program for kindergarteners. In my spare time, I like to hangout with family, go to the gym and watch tv. One thing you should know about me is I am very patient, I understand children are growing and don't always know how to express themselves. My nephew is 4 years old and has autism so I am very familiar with deescalation techniques and staying calm in stressful situations. My skills include compassion, the ability to match energy and listen while also setting boundaries.
