Hi there! I am originally from sunny Pueblo, Colorado, but am currently in Fort Collins for school. I am currently a sophomore student at CSU studying Human Dimensions of Natural Resources. I absolutely love animals and being outside! I have many years of both babysitting and petsitting. I have been the family babysitter for my 9-year old sister and our two cousins (12 and 5 years old) since they were born. I have also taught swim lessons for 4 years to children of all ages, from babies to teenagers. I also have 2 years of experience teaching catechism to preschoolers and kindergartners. I love being around kids and encourage them to play outside, read, or do arts and crafts. I am also happy to help kids learn basic guitar! I also have many years experience caring for animals. I am most experienced with dogs, as I had a Golden Retriever Read more for 13 years and currently have a 6-year old Lab mix. However, I have a few years experience caring for kitties, as I have a 3-year old cat and a 1-year old kitten as well. I have several years experience with fish, rodents, and birds as well. I am a very active person and love to hike, swim, and bike, and am willing to take your kids or pets outside to enjoy these activities! I have a reliable car and am willing to work around my school schedule to work with you. I also do not drink, smoke, or party and am very dedicated to the work I do. I have CPR, lifeguarding, and first aid certifications.
