I've currently just graduated massage therapy school and am looking for an opportunity such as caretaking/ babysitting/ pet sitting to do along side it. I love encouraging creativity, curiosity, and movement in children, therefore I do my best to create activities that involve art, exploring nature, and sports/ dance. I've babysat on and off for 15 years for children ranging in ages from 6 months - 13 years of age. Additionally, for three years I worked as a teaching assistant in a special education classroom, as well as general education classroom. I have a degree in massage therapy, speech and language pathology, and am CPR certified. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your children and/pets!
