A little bit about me

Hi families!! My name is Avery and I'm 21 years old and originally from Austin, Texas! I am a proud older sister of one sister and three little brothers. They are 3, 7, 9, and 11. Being their older sister means the world to me, and I've gotten to hold them in my arms as babies and watch them score their first goals! I miss them so much. I have professional experience of 8+ years with families back in Austin.
I moved to Tahoe back in December to work my first ski season at Kirkwood! I had a blast and decided I wanted to stick around for the summer. I will be working at Zephyr Cove Marina this season.
I love kids so much and it makes me feel like I still have my little siblings running around. I'm very creative, active, and I love being outdoors! I'm interested in Part-time work at the moment and looking to help with mornings or nights! I would be so excited for the opportunity to help a family this summer with their little one(s). Feel free to message me :))
