Katie, sitter in Laurencetown BT63

Hi, I'm a University Student going into my third year and I have been working with kids extensively since I was 14 years old. I've been volunteering with a local youth organisation since I was 14 where I am a leader and through that, I have experience in organising games, events, teaching lessons, interacting with the children who range from the age of 3-18 and also looking after them at night during camps during the summer.

Last summer I was a Camp Counselor through Camp America and I was a Cabin Counselor to 6 girls aged between 11-13 and taught Archery and Creative Writing to girls between 7-17. I also have quite a lot of babysitting experience as I have three younger siblings and I have also been babysitting for others from about the age of 15, usually in their own homes. The youngest child I have looked after is 18 months old and I have also tutored several children in subjects such as English, Maths and History up to a GCSE level but have more experience teaching primary and secondary school children.

I am also experienced with special needs children as I have volunteered at the YMCA with downs syndrome and autistic youth and from growing up with my own little brother. I love children and interacting with them and I am very creative, inventive and very good under stress. Through working with large groups of children at a time I am competent at diffusing situations and organising entertaining and stimulating activities.
