Hello! My name is Brooke and I am searching for a babysitting or part-time nanny position. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology as well as with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language. Additionally, I completed the Secondary Science Licensure Program, which culminated with a semester of student teaching at Nederland Middle/Senior High School. During my student teaching, I was in charge of 71 ninth through twelfth graders as a high school biology and anatomy/physiology teacher. I grew up in Chicago (go Blackhawks!) and throughout high school, as well during my breaks from college, I babysat for various families in the neighborhood. During my college experience, I also babysat for various families in Boulder. In terms of childcare, I have worked with all ages, from infants to teenagers. I have held full-time positions in child care in Read more addition to babysitting. For two months before studying abroad in Argentina in 2012, I took care of a 2 1/2 year old who had some cognitive delays. During the previous summer (2013), I was a classroom aid in a Montessori preschool for a 5 year old with emotion and aggression issues. Over the course of the summer, we became very close, which allowed me to calm him down before he resorted to fleeing from the classroom or becoming violent with others. My experience in the Montessori setting also had a huge impact on how I care for and teach children such that I have strengthened my belief in experiential and independent learning in a structured environment. I have taught science classes at the primary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. Throughout college, I taught many after school science classes through the after school enrichment program, Science Discovery. Currently, I am teaching two "Natural Disasters" classes at University Hill Elementary School in Boulder and one "Kids Chemistry" class at Pioneer Elementary School in Lafayette through Science Discovery. What I love about the position is the chance to inspire children to learn science through exciting experiments. During college, I also had various student teaching placements, including the semester long position I held in Nederland, as I mentioned above. I have taught at Longmont High School, Monarch High School, Boulder High School, Manhattan Middle School, and Foothill Elementary.
