A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Avery Lenocker. I’m 22 and currently work full-time in technology sales in Santa Monica. I grew up in Colorado as the oldest of four in a big, close-knit family, so being around kids has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old and also worked as a lifeguard, which led me to become CPR certified.
I love staying active and being outdoors, surfing, hiking, skiing, and going to the gym are some of my favorites. I’m also a big dog lover, enjoy reading, and value creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I have my own car and am reliable, responsible, and family-oriented. I’m especially close with my family and my twin sister, and I bring that same care and energy into everything I do.

A little bit about me
I am a CPR/First Aid certified, caregiver and am really interested! I've worked with kids infants/toddlers to tens including 6+ months as a nanny for 10-year-old twins, babysitting 12 months - 4 years old, teaching swim lessons to kids 18 months+ and coaching kids tennis for all ages for over 2 years.
I prioritize safety, curiosity and empathy and love helping kids learn at all their different stages. I really enjoy having fun with kids and getting on their level and I encourage curiosity and learning through play through all stages. I am responsible, dependable and patient. My approach is that I should feel like an extension of you guys around your child, so I work with my parents to make sure my approach to their child matches their approach and expectations as well.
I'm happy to share references as well if you would like! I'd be happy to chat on the phone ahead of time or meet. Let me know if you would like to chat.
