My background is in banking and theatre, but now I'm looking to transition my career into something I've always loved: working with kids. When I was in middle school and high school I worked as a caregiver for special needs children ages 12-18. At the same time, I volunteered in my church's daycare with children ages 3 months to 2 years. Lately, I've been limited to babysitting my friends' children and my niece and nephew, but I'm excited to branch out and have a chance to foster your child's unique interests and natural curiosity. I love to cook and have experience cooking for people with dietary requirements (veganism, sweetener allergy, gluten intolerance -- and that's all the same person). I'm also a meticulous cleaner. I believe in limiting time spent interacting with screens (TVs, computers, phones, tablets) and fully engaging with the people in front of me. I have diverse Read more interests --- acting, drawing, reading, writing -- and have played several sports. I am happy to share these experiences with your child, or help them find new, exciting interests of their own. I grew up on a farm, so I'm very comfortable with all animals, and I'm available for petsitting and other caretaking as well. I am bilingual in English and Spanish.
