Please allow Applicant J to tell you more about herself:

“Thirteen years ago, I began my journey as a compassionate child caregiver and volunteer mentor at Big Brothers Big Sisters. I am a self-starter with expertise in family collaboration, facilitating transparent communication, creating interest-based, immersive activities, gentle child-rearing techniques, supporting developmental milestones, respectful toilet learning practices, and utilizing positive redirection. I approach education with a growth mindset and humanistic child-centered philosophy, prioritizing self-directed interests to nurture innate curiosity. I strive to create a structured yet flexible learning environment that encourages purposeful play, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills at each child’s pace. I support children with art, movement, music, play, and reading therapies and enjoy integrating American Sign Language and introductory Spanish. My childcare approach is rooted in building trustworthy relationships and empathetic understanding while guiding with warmth, patience, creativity, and unconditional positive regard. I value growth, integrity, health, and well-being. I find immense fulfillment when connecting with others and assisting them in reaching their full potential. I enjoy leading an active, adventurous, and open-minded lifestyle; my favorite hobbies include reading, painting, gardening, baking, yoga, kayaking, hiking, swimming, skiing, and traveling. I am honest, energetic, intuitive, engaging, and altruistic. Like children, I approach life optimistically, live in the present moment, find beauty and humor in situations, and love to play.”
