Hello - I am a responsible, caring, and fun special education teacher looking for a summer babysitting or nanny position and/or occasional babysitting jobs. As a babysitter, I enjoy getting creative with art projects and crafts, reading books, playing games, and being silly with the kiddos I work with. I try to make sure time is spent each day in the beautiful colorado outdoors - at the park, going on walks, or even spending time the backyard. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 and love playing sports in general. As a caregiver, I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens and working with children who have differing abilities. With my background in teaching and my previous work with children who have special needs, I would be interested in filling our time with some fun academic activities or working on behavioral supports if that Read more is something you are interested in. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Please feel free message me with questions or for references!
