Hello! I am looking to provide a safe, fun, creative and nurturing environment for your children to play and learn. I am currently on summer vacation so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can also work weekends including overnight if needed. I am an elementary school teacher for Denver Public Schools. I have also worked in early childhood education (ages 8 weeks-5 years) and have a total of 5 years of teaching experience. I also have several years of nannying experience with ages newborn-11 years. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish. If it fits with your families needs, I am also able to provide structured learning time or tutoring. A little bit about me... I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico and have lived and worked in Denver for just almost 6 years. In my free time I enjoy all of the outdoor activities that Denver has to Read more offer, traveling, cooking, going to concerts, and exploring all that our city has to offer. I have a positive and easy-going attitude. I am passionate about working with and teaching children, and I couldn't imagine my life any other way! I look forward to speaking with you and your family! I can provide several references upon request. I would prefer not to share their information publicly. Thank you.
