8+ Full-time camp leader
I Just finished my first program at Humber College where I became a RECE. I will be continuing my studies in the fall at Guelph-Humber to get a degree in Early Childhood Studies, so that I can go to teachers college.
I am from Sunderland, and grew up on a farm. I am a very enthusiastic and energetic person. I like to work with children and love to play sports. My favorite sport is golf.
My Experiences:
I began working with kids when I was around 10 years old. I would babysit children for families when I was younger. Then since my mom is a teacher I would go in and help her with sporting events and help her coach. I also worked at golf summer camps and other various summer camps.
Future Goals:
My future goals are to keep working with children. I hope to go to teachers college one day to become a teacher. I would like to teach children from grades 4-6. My biggest dream is to become a professional golfer though.
Interests:
I am interested in golfing and mostly all sports. I also like to snowmobile and basically do anything outdoors.
