Meet Athena

My name is Athena and I love to dance, do yoga, cook and be in nature. I'm 21 years old and a sophomore at Johnson State College in Vermont. I'm studying Wellness and Alternative Medicine with a studio art minor. One day I hope to become an Art Therapist because one of my favorite things is working with children! I love playing and teaching children about the big world around them. I also love keeping children active, engaged and happy in whatever they do. Whether it's playing around at the park, reading or turning boring chores into fun games, I try to make everything fun and interesting for them. I have 6+ years of experience babysitting children ages 3mo-17 years. Additionally, for the past 4 years I've also worked as a dance teacher, gymnastics coach, and yoga instructor for children 18mo-17 years.
