Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I have worked for a professional babysitting/nanny placement agency which has given me the opportunity to work with various ages and families. I moved to Aspen this year, and hope to continue working with children here. I have experience as a live-in nanny, experience with full-time live-out positions and have also held many part-time nanny/babysitter positions. I have additional experience/certification for teaching kids how to ski and competed for a NCAA D1 team during college! I enjoy cooking/baking and have learned how to be resourceful with recipes that are appealing even for a cavalry of picky eaters. I'm the oldest child in my family and have always been very nurturing with my siblings and all children as well as with my dogs and all the animals we've had growing up. As I've grown, I've continued to love working with children Read more and pursued courses and positions that would allow me to pursue becoming a qualified and experienced caregiver!Working with children has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me. I'm nurturing, hardworking and very organized by nature. I've been responsible for managing both personal assistant and house manager roles. I am very organized and like to do anything I can to help a family and household related tasks as long as it's not at the expense of my main role, caring for your kids. I like to travel and have experience traveling for work. I love animals and am always happy to help with pets. My family has two golden retrievers and two horses. I enjoy being engaging and active with kids and participate in games/sports/activities with them. I also have experience working as a ski instructor for kids and love teaching the sport. I try to make learning and play interesting, interactive and creative. I majored in English, I love reading and writing short stories with kids and having them draw pictures for our story. I like to read to babies too of course! CPR/First Aid/Advanced Child Care courses/certification. Additional training completed for coaching. Thank you taking the time to read about my experience with children. Let me know if you'd be interested in speaking. References available upon request!
