I started babysitting after my high school principle recommended me to several different families, including some of my teachers. As word spread of my adoration for watching kiddos, more and more families approached me. I have always loved working with children, and that's why I've been babysitting, nannying, and working as a summer camp counselor for over five years. From babies, teens, and in-betweens, I'm great with kids of any age. I am child and infant AED/First Aid/CPR, Wilderness First Responder (WFR), and Wilderness Water Safety (WWS) certified. I am great with animals, and have had several pets throughout my life. I love the outdoors, cross-country skiing, baking, and crafts. School is my top priority, and I try best to maintain my 4.0 GPA at the university. I truly love all my kiddos and the bonds I've formed with their families. Working with children has given me memories, experiences, and Read more lessons I could never attain by working at a gas station or grocery store. Through all my experience, I've learned how to navigate and collaborate with family dynamics, have difficult conversations, and how to manage a balance between being a fun yet firm caretaker for children. Kids thrive with routine, enthusiasm, and accountability, and I bring all those things to the table, and more. I hope you consider me as a caretaker for your child or children. Whether your child is easy-going, stubborn, or shy, I will be there for them to keep them safe and smiling, so you can focus on yourself until you return.
