Hi There! I am a 26 year old, KU Grad with a degree in Behavioral Science and Early Childhood Education. I graduated from KU in 2012, and since have been working for Pearson Education as a publishing rep for Math & Science titles. During my time in college, I spent many days and nights babysitting and/or nannying for several families. I was a live-in nanny for two years for a family with 3 children, which I adored doing! They have since moved to California and I have graduated and moved Kansas City. I have done small babysitting jobs here and there over the last few years, but am looking for a family with whom I can build a relationship and be their "go-to" sitter. Aside from working for Pearson for 3 years, I actively serve as a "Big Sister" for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and I am a new member Read more of the Junior League of Kansas City as well. A few hobbies I enjoy are running, yoga, and baking; I am an exceptionally great baker! :) I enjoy working with children and always have. That is why I chose to get my degree in an area of study that focused on helping children and their families. My career has taken a turn for a more business-driven route, and I have truly missed working with kids. I love children because they are happy, imaginative little people, with growing minds and hearts. It gives me sincere joy to help nurture that happiness and imagination. I am creative, fun, caring, and nurturing; I would much appreciate the opportunity to get to know you and your children, as well as let you get to know me! Here is a quick recap of my experience for you: - 2007-2010: Pre-school assistant teacher at Princeton Preschool; Lawrence, KS - 2007-2012: In-home Babysitting for various families; Lawrence, KS - 2010-2011: Behavior Therapist through KU Little Steps; Lawrence, KS - 2010-2012: Assistant teacher at KU Educare Preschool; Lawrence, KS - 2012-2012: Live-in Nanny for The Sigourney Family (3 children); Lawrence, KS - 2012-2015: In-home Babysitting for various families; Overland Park, KS
