I love caring for children; their inquisitive attitudes and energy make them a joy to be around. I am responsible and dependable, and have the energy to keep up with them. I am originally from a small town in Illinois, I obtained my Associates at a local community college, and I am now looking to continue my education. For the past five years I have traveled around the United States, I am not settling in Austin in the River Side-Oltorf neighborhood. With years of sports behind me I believe in having a very active lifestyle. When caring for children I love to take them on walks, hiking, to the park, and swimming. I also like to plan education activities into physical activities. Cooking is one of my favorite activities, it's a great way to teach fractions, basic chemistry, and basic housekeeping skills children will use for the rest of their Read more lives. I have experience and am comfortable with newborns to young teens. My hobbies include yoga, skiing, biking, and reading. I believe the best way to teach children is by setting an example, you can tell them over and over again what needs to be done, but they will never listen to you unless they know it's what you would do, not just what you say.
