Hello! I am a recent graduate of Butler University located in Indianapolis, IN. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I am moving to California in June and am looking for a full-time babysitting or nanny position. In high school, I was a Child Watch Sitter at the YMCA during the summers. While at the YMCA, I worked with 5 month olds-14 year olds. While at Butler, I student taught for two semesters. Last fall, I student taught at IPS 91, a Montessori School. While at 91, I taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. My second placement was completed at Riley Hospital for Children, where I worked with kids k-12. Those 2 placements, as well as my work experience in Child Watch at the YMCA, have greatly helped me understand the developmental levels of children and their behavioral needs. I love serving as a role-model for children, as Read more well as creating a safe and fun environment for them! I am trained in Suicide Prevention and am CPR Certified.
