I have been volunteering at a local daycare for about 2 and half years. I volunteer my time every Tuesday and Thursday from the hours of 1:00pm to 4:00 pm. I only volunteer while school is in session unless the daycare provider informs me ahead of time that she will need my assistance on a weekend, school break, or vacation. The reason why I volunteer is because I like helping people, working with kids, and I want to have a career that involves working with children. The age group of kids that I work with is from the ages 1 to 13. During the time that I am volunteering I help assist the overall activities of the children in doors as well as outdoors. I do the best of my ability to provide a safe, caring, positive environment for the children. I also do crafts with the kids such as drawing, painting, and baking. During the holidays is when we do the most crafts, for example since it’s going to be Halloween we have been painting pumpkins, coloring pictures of how our houses are decorated, and drawing what our costumes are going to look like on Halloween. When we bake we mostly bake cookies and occasionally cupcakes. I assist them by helping them with the cake mix and finish the rest of the baking on my own. Once the cookies or cupcakes are cooled they are able to decorate them however they desire. I also help assure the health and safety of the kids. After the kids get out of school I help them with their homework and make sure that they understand the criteria. The kids usually have a weekly test every Friday at school and they know if they do well they will get a treat such as being able to bake and eat cookies or watch a movie. I have enjoyed the time I have had volunteering and working with the kids at the daycare center. I plan to continue volunteering for the rest of this year or until I get a job with the school district working with kids at an after school program. My goal is to try and work with older kids
