I began babysitting when I was 13 years old, and have a passion for providing quality childcare. I had an amazing babysitter when I was young who inspired me to go above and beyond as a caregiver because she had, and still continues to have, such a big impact on my life. I have been teaching environmental education to kids 2nd-6th grade since 2014, and have worked with children around the world. My positions have included daycare assistant at a childcare facility in New Zealand, outdoor educator with young adults in Oregon, and most recently a Montessori assistant guide in the toddler (ages 1-3) classroom. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your children. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to message me!
