I’ve been a babysitter since I can remember. I have four siblings, a niece, and a rather large family. After moving to New York from France I started attending a weekly youth group where I would play games and hear stories with other children my own age. After going there for a couple of years I became a counselor myself. It was nice to keep that tradition going. I was a counselor for about 12 third-graders every week for 5 years. This was a volunteer position but I still planned weekly events and activities for my campers to do. This past summer, I was a counselor at Camp Zeke, a camp focused on health and wellness. Here too, I planned activities to entertain my campers- from bracelet making, pottery and other arts and crafts to theatre games, poetry, and telling stories. I’ve also worked with individual children. I was a babysitter and French tutor for a four year old boy for about a year. I would pick him up from school and take him to the park as well as playing games and planning activities (cooking, drawing, museum trips…) in order to teach him French- in addition to weekly lessons.
