About Adelaide

I'd describe my personality as supportive, caring, and adaptable. I like working with kids because it is incredibly rewarding to watch and help as a child grows. I know how important it is for families to be able to have additional support for their children. I started working with children from a young age. My family fostered children and I began helping take care of them early on. I was watching them by myself by age 11. I started babysitting children outside of my family at age 14 and have had consistent babysitting jobs since. I have two adoptive siblings who suffer from severe trauma, and a number of disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia, an intellectual disability, BPD, attachment disorders, etc. I have experience dealing with these conditions and feel confident in my ability to handle difficult situations regarding them. My skills include being able to plan activities that encourage educational development. I can provide fun and create opportunities for self expression.
