I've been babysitting since I was ten, love kids of all ages and can connect well with almost any child I've ever met. I've got energy, passion, patience, respect, and creativity to share and I hope to hear from you! Why me? I can answer questions about everything from math to institutional oppression to where poop comes from. Because that's what this job is. I will have honest, age-appropriate, educational and positive conversations with your kids. All while engaging in educational, physical, and imaginative play and coaching them through social challenges, making good decisions, and learning discipline and respect. I'm not afraid to look silly; ask me about Goblin Tag. I can build awesome things with cardboard and duct tape; ask me about it! On the training front, I've had CPR and First Aid training in the past, though it's currently out of date. I have a college degree in Read more Chemistry, and I've studied developmental psychology. I plan to explore Social Work and Teaching in the next few years.
