Meet Allison
- Comfortable with pets
In middle school and high school I was very much involved with the local youth theatre in my hometown (in Vermont). I would participate as one of the actors and eventually become part of the mentoring group, which served to be role models for the younger cast members: giving them advice, helping them with their lines, etc. I started babysitting younger children (toddler-aged) when I was fifteen for a few of the staff members of the theatre, and from there it became a pretty consistent line of work for me. And now at twenty-three I still find working with children to be the most rewarding work that there is! I am currently taking the semester off, but in the Spring I will continue working towards my degree in Early Childhood Education at Yavapai College. At this point I have cared for kids of all ages, from infants to early teens. Read more I am CPR & First Aid certified and hold a current AZ fingerprint clearance card. My style varies depending on the age, but my approach (and general demeanor) is very gentle (but I'm not a total push-over). I encourage creative and engaging activities such as reading books, arts and crafts, singing, and playing outside. In addition to babysitting I would be happy to provide light-housekeeping, meal preparation and pet-care if needed.
