Meet Petra

I love being a sitter because I get a chance to connect with young children/adults and influence them the way others have influenced me. I have been paid for childcare for about 5 years, gaining experience with all ages of children from as young as 5 months old to as old as 14. Additionally, I have experience in sports coaching both as an alpine ski racing coach at Gore Mountain's NYSEF program and through the youth OSAA Field Hockey Program, where I served as the head 5th-6th coach my junior and senior years of high school. I also have some experience with children with special needs. I am CPR, AED and EpiPen certified and am also a ski patroller and am currently working on completing my OEC (outdoor emergency care) course. I grew up showing cows at my local county fair, so I am comfortable dealing with any pets; no Read more animal is too big! I also have a driver's license and my own car. I am a rising sophomore at St. Lawrence University, expected to graduate in 2029 with a double major in biology and English. I intend to acquire a master's in education and be a high school-level biology or English teacher. At St. Lawrence I am a member of several clubs and a part of the St. Lawrence Division 3 field hockey team, all while maintaining a 3.82 GPA.
