Experience: 10 yrs
I have a lot of experience taking care of children, starting with my younger brothers who are 10 and 12 years younger than me. I've always babysat for people in my neighborhood, and it's something I just really enjoy doing! I love kids, and I've served children at my churches for the last 5 years. I've cared for up to 7 infants at a time with 2 other volunteers present, and up to 8 toddlers at a time (aged 3-4) with one other volunteer present. I've also helped with picking kids up from school several days a week and working on homework with them (kindergarten and second grade), doing light cleaning, preparing and serving snacks, making dinner, and driving to activities. I moved to Miami 2 years ago to stay with my 84-year-old grandmother and make sure she wasn't living alone. Thankfully she's very self-sufficient, so I have time to work and go to school! I've worked as an actress, and also love music and dancing, but I'm taking a break from the arts right now to pursue a BA in History so that I can become a teacher, and a more educated person. Education is something I value highly. I have experience teaching High School students about literature by applying basic principals of acting and script analysis to texts they were reading in their English classes. My students always said that they understood and enjoyed the texts much more after we worked on them. I believe that learning can, and should be, fun! I also have experience assistant teaching Ballroom Dance classes for children and teenagers (4 years- 15 years old). I have also worked in after-school programming which had 50 students K-8th grades. I was one of 7 people who would help the students with homework, serve them snacks, and do fun activities with them. References available upon request.

Chelsea is a wonderful person. She has a playful and cheerful attitude and gets along super well with my daughter. They both share a love of reading. My husband and I have the highest confidence in her trustworthiness, judgement and maturity, and feel at ease leaving my daughter in her care.
