A little bit about me

My name is Ava and I have a long and loving history of working with children. It has been my passion for a long time and something that I have pursued both educationally and professionally. There are so many beautiful things about working with children of different ages and abilities in many settings. I love to involve my own creativity into working with children in the form of art, dramatic play and music! I love the outdoors and think that it is an incredibly important part of early development and love to incorporate it into care. I grew up in Colorado and all my favorite memories are outside! Childhood is where it all begins and there is something immensely special about getting to be there from the beginning. Play based learning and child led inquiry are two important parts of my childcare philosophy. I love getting to engage in play in my work every day.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have babysat, taught kids art classes, been a camp counselor, taught kids music classes, worked with children who have developmental disabilities, nannied full time and worked in a school setting with kids aged 4 months-6 years. Currently I am nannying part time for a family with a 3 year old and a 6 month old and am looking for another part time position!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to do dramatic play with children, going to the park, picking out new books at the library, trying arts and crafts with children, dancing, singing, teaching them about the world but most importantly following their lead!

My experience with special needs children...

My internship in college was working at Respite Care for a semester which is a child care facility for children with a wide array of developmental disabilities. This included engaging in education activities, imaginary play, helping with mealtimes, assisting in transitions, and facilitating friendships.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when I was caring for this sweet 2 year old girl and an infant. The 2 year old loved movie characters and while we were at the park, a mother with similar aged children looked to her daughter and said "wow look, she's a big sister just like you!" referring to the child I was with. She looks to the woman and says "I am not a big sister, I am Rapunzel!"
