Meet Gretchen

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I have a BS in Biology from Radford, where I started as a student of Elementary Education, but decided I loved teaching children about the subject of science. I have babysat all ages since I was a teen. I have worked for 4H Camp as a councilor, as a YMCA councilor and life guard. I completed 50 hours of in classroom training during my Elem. Ed. I spent the last 8 years working on my career in Research and am now returning to school to work towards my PhD in Pyscholgy with an emphasis on School Counciling. I am looking for a sitting job to add some supplemental income. I am excellent with children and look forward to helping you when you need it!
