I am first a proud big sister of four. However, I've been happily looking after children long before these fun bundles came along. For the past twelve years, I've had the honor of parents entrusting me with their children from ages 2-13. I have taken care of picky eaters, shy ones, the but-I-don't-want-to-go-to-beds, and soothed I-want-mamas, the occasional bed wettings, and boo-boos. I love kids and I pride myself in acknowledging their shenanigans and working WITH them to ensure a happy, healthy caregiving experience so parents can have some much deserved peace of mind. I'm very keen on taking into account your child's individual needs and would love the opportunity to meet them to see if we can build a trusted caregiver-turned-trusted-friend with your little one(s). A little about me: I'm very passionate about painting and animal welfare. Having grew up in Maine, I love nature and staying active. I've Read more spent a semester abroad in Spain, where I helped tutor children in English. I've volunteered as a mentor for underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic. One of the best summers I ever had was spent volunteering as a camp counselor to children that were reunited with their siblings after having been separated in foster care. Please feel to reach out. I look forward to learning more about your family's needs and seeing if we're a good match! Cheers ~ Athena
