How long have you cared for children? I have worked with children of various ages for twelve years. I started at an  elementary school after school program and spent seven years there. I then began working with children aged 0-5 at daycares and I have been doing that for five years now.

 

What is your favorite activity to do with children? My favorite activity to do with children is PLAY. I believe play creates social interaction and in ages from 0-5 that is a very important skill for them to learn. 

 

What is your favorite Yooper activity? My favorite yooper activity is summer camping on Lake Superior.

How long have you cared for children? “I have been an auntie and babysitter for 20 years now and I have my own child who is 8 years old. But when it comes to a non-kin relationship – I have volunteered at BHK in the past and I am going into my second year as a sunday school teacher for K& 1st grade.”

What is your favorite activity to do with children? ” Naturally I volunteer to clean up after the kids, because of my 10+ years of cleaning for a living and it is wonderful to see how much the kids want to help clean up when they see their teachers do it. “

What is your favorite Yooper activity? “As a recent homeowner with my husband, I have come to enjoy shoveling our driveway in the winter and in the summer I spend as much time in Lake Superior as I can. I like to rock pick and currently my favorite to look for are heart shaped. I have spent a few years looking for and identifying mushrooms and have just started doing such with trees.”
