Hello :)
My name is Victory. I am African-American. I am a 17-year-old college student in my 2nd year of pre-nursing at Brandon University. I love crocheting, baking, and reading books. I am the last child of my parents, but I have many younger cousins that I have taken care of since 2018. I also worked as a summer camp staff at a daycare this summer. I love working with kids because of how fun it is to be around them, and it has been my passion to take care of kids as I would love to be a pediatric nurse in the future. Some of the tasks you can expect me to complete are making snacks, light cleaning, fun indoor and outdoor activities, regulating sleep-wake patterns set by parents/guardians and assisting with homework.
I started working with kids by taking up babysitting jobs in 2018. Most of the babysitting jobs I took were for relatives and neighbours who lived close to me and whose kids were in grade school. I engaged with the children by playing games, working on puzzles and reading books with some screen time (based on the parents/ guardian's preference). I also organized and cleaned the home after activities by picking up toys and
straightening the room. I prepared healthy, age-appropriate snacks (based on the parent's / guardian's preference knowledge). I bathed, dressed and helped with teeth brushing as part of bedtime preparation and assisted the children with homework assignments and special projects across different subjects. Before I left the home, I made sure I gave the parent/guardian a brief run-down of how the day went with their child.
Recently, I worked as a summer camp staff in a daycare where I worked with grade schoolers and middle schoolers. My fellow daycare staff and I supervised the children by preparing day-to-day camp tasks, leading interactive sessions with the kids and providing supervision on field trips.
