I operated a certified daycare business for children aged newborn to 12 years out of my home for 7 years. The job required me to plan daily activities, menus for each week, daily routines and special outings. I was responsible for the care and well-being of 6 children at any one time. I did my own taxes, kept business records, complied with state and local requirements, and participated in continuing education whenever possible. I took first aid classes for infants and children and was CPR certified.During my time at Lakeland College I worked as a writing and study tutor in the Resource Center helping students, especially foreign exchange students, prepare and finalize papers for classes. I also wrote for the school paper, as well as held a position as news and copy editor.Specialties: Experience working with children with speech impediments, ADHD, epilepsy.
