Currently, I work full time at Champlain Valley Union HS as a science program assistant. While my day job is focused on 14-16 year olds, I have 16 years of experience working with children and infants. My first job at the age of 14 was lifeguarding at a public pool in my hometown, where I then moved on to working in a child care facility at the age of 17. I am hoping to find regular babysitting on the weekends while school is in session to then work more hours in the summer months in at-home childcare. I've lived in Vermont for nearly 3 years after spending 10 years in western Colorado where I also babysat and housesat regularly until 2020. My summers in Vermont have been spent working for the Green Mountain Club as a backcountry caretaker on Camel's Hump and Sterling Pond, but this coming summer I would Read more like to hike recreationally rather than professionally. With my GMC caretaking I have attained a certifications in both CPR and Wilderness First Aid. Now that I have settled fully into Vermont I am hopeful to begin babysitting again and look forward to hearing from future families :)
