Experience: I have babysat for many families, nannied, worked at sports camps, art camps, worked as a snowboard instructor, worked in Steamboat Resort's childcare center, taught English in Guatemala, and have worked at an after school program in Guatemala.

Experience with the following age groups: I have experience with ages 9 months to 15 years old.

Interests and hobbies:I play the violin and I dabble with the guitar and the piano. I am an artist and love to draw and paint. I am a vegetarian and eat healthy. I am a decent cook, and when given a recipe I am a fantastic cook. I know basic Spanish, but would love to learn more. I love anything to do with the outdoors. I grew up sailing. I love the water, but I also love the mountains. I like to mountain bike, rock-climb, snowboard, camp, and hike. I love to learn and weirdly enough I love school.

Describe your childcare style:I am a very loving, caring, and nurturing individual, but I am not afraid to enforce discipline when needed. I love being able to be silly and creative with kids. I believe it is important to allow children to explore the world around them and encourage them to be active and engaged. I understand every parent has their own methods and so does each nanny. I believe in creating a balance, and I will always respect the parents wishes. I simply intend to be a role model for the kids I nanny for and provide them with appropriate choices, a positive learning atmosphere, structure, guidance, and of course plenty of fun activities.

What activities do you like to do with children:With children I love to play outside, go on hikes or walks, go swimming, go to the playground, do arts and crafts, sports, bake, watch movies, play board games, and read books.

Why are you interested in working as a Nanny or Babysitter? I enjoy working as a nanny because I love working with kids. I have a little sister who is 11 years younger than me and I loved helping my mom raise her as a kid. I have worked in the daycare environment, summer camps, and teaching snowboarding, and loved every minute of it! I prefer being a nanny because you get to know the kids on a more personal level and you really get a chance to adapt activities and such to each childs needs and desires. I love the energy and perspective on the world that kids have and I am always learning from them!

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?I think it is important for a nanny to be responsible, fun, loving, smart, creative, playful, energetic, and prepared for anything. It is also important for a nanny to be respectful respect of their self, children, and parents.
