Experience: I started working with children at the age of 12 as a babysitter. After night school, I became a preschool teacher working at a center as an infant teacher for 3 yrs. I took care of 8 babies everyday and worked alongside the parents giving nutritional and developmental guidance. I left that school to become a nanny for the family that I currently work for. I took care of their 2 boys until they were in school, and I then went back to the preschool and taught in the 2 to 3 year old room. Then I went back to the family I had previously worked for because they were expecting twin girls! I have now spent the last 3.5 years caring for all 4 children. Caring for the twins and making sure the older boys get to their after school activities and homework done, and any other duties that were a part of the position. I also meal plan, grocery shop, run errands and cook dinner. I have worked for my current family for a period of 10 years.

Experience with the following age groups: All ages from newborn through school age.

Interests and hobbies:I spend most of my free time out at the barn riding my horse. I am big into snowboarding and go up all winter backpacking, camping, shopping and of course spending time with my family and friends.

Describe your childcare style: I believe children need structure and rhythm. I am extremely caring and nurturing but also not afraid to set boundaries. I encourage communication and always work to my best ability to meet each of the childrens personal needs within reason. I am very interactive and like to do fun activities everyday with the children.

What activities do you like to do with children:I like going to museums, zoo, aquarium, playground, walks, gym, swimming pool, library, arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, etc.
