If you have any other Child Care Experience we should know of, please describe them
I had a beautiful experience a couple of years ago with a little girl called Scarlet, she was six years old, and she hated reading, it was difficult for her, so she didn't show any interesting on it. I started working with her every afternoon as a part-time nanny, we used to create stories together, and then we played the roll game teacher - student, she was the teacher and I played the student, so I had to write the story on the notebook, after this she was interested on reading her own story.
After a while we also included researching activities like investigating about animals or specific topics such as insects, mermaids and unicorns. It was fulfilling for me to find out that empathy and respect for the children interests are an open window to motivate learning.
After three months reading became a habit for her, she improved her reading skills, stopped confusing letters and wasn't afraid of speaking publicly any more.

I study education because I strongly believe children deserve to get different tools to learn, because each child learns differently. I never give up on children, I am patient, consistent and creative, I and most important I am always respectful about their feelings, if something doesn't work we can always look for another method that is more suitable form them.

If you have any other areas of knowledge or skills, please describe them below:
I am good at outdoor activities such as; taking walks in the forest, and swimming in the river. I really enjoy exploring nature with children because it is an opportunity to learn new things like classification of leaves according to the colour, size or shape, bird watching, painting landscapes and of course reading outside with a cold lemonade is always motivating.

I am also a good basketball and volleyball player. I like to take bike rides with the children or to play hide and seek in the park as well. Since I was a little girl, I used to dance and participate in the artistic shows in my province because the Amazon is very festive. This is why I have always liked to dance and create choreographies to make little performances for friends and family.
I am very talented for handicrafts made with paper, construction paper and other materials.

As I study education, I am able to help children with their homework and other academic activities.

Please describe your hobbies
In my free time I enjoy spending with my family, we usually prepare new recipes and bake cakes on weekends. We also go to the beach to swim and play volleyball. On Sundays we go to church to share with my friends, neighbours and family and I try to help with the bible study classes with the children.

In the afternoons my neighbours organize basketball games and at night I watch movies with my brother. Every Saturday I have rehearsals with my dance group, we dance Amazonia traditional music. I also have English classes every Saturday.

In the Amazon there are beautiful places like waterfalls, caves, rivers and rainforests, this is why my co-workers and I organize small trips to these amazing places twice a month. I consider myself an adventurous and fearless person.
