My caregiver career started when I was 12 and my brothers were born. Being so much older then then I was capable of helping out. This meant giving them bottles, changing diapers and lots of play time. I soon found out that I had natural act taking care of kids which then led me to babysitting. To this day I still babysit and make connections with families in and around my area here in CO. Before the pandemic I started working for a daycare and was responsible for 5 1yr-2yr olds. This taught me more about the educational side of being a care giver and gave me tools to give more structure for the kids while keeping it fun. Due to the pandemic i was forced out of work and became a live in nanny for a family I met through the daycare. It was an amazing experience and they Read more truly became like family to me. Since then iv started a career the housing market with a home builder but it’s not as satisfying as I thought it would be and am wanting to return to my roots.
