My name is Kali and, in addition to being a caregiver, I'm a glaciologist and outdoor guide. Most of my life is split between science research and sharing science and an enthusiasm for learning with kids (and adults!). I have worked with kids both as a caretaker and as an instructor from ages 0 to 18 for the past 17 years. I love sharing what I am passionate about and helping them discover what it is they are passionate about as well. In addition to being CPR certified, I'm also certified in EMT, Wilderness Medicine (believe it or not it occasionally comes up on the playground), and as a first responder. I'm accustomed to working with kids from a variety or backgrounds and range of needs, and am also conversational in French, Spanish, Italian, and German. I'm passionate about what I do and helping others find excitement and joy as Read more they grow and learn. I'm always honored spend time with new kids and their families!
