A little bit about me

I am graduating from Cardinal Newman High School this year, and I will be attending Duke University next year to study on a premed track, with a focus on women's health! I absolutely love kids and find so much joy in spending time with them, so I am looking forward to getting involved in a consistent babysitting job. I am motivated, positive, and very flexible. Life is busy and things don't always go as planned, and I totally get it. I know how to keep a controlled environment while still having fun. In my free time, I love to go on runs and go to pilates or yoga, spend time outside with my family and friends, and volunteering for various healthcare organizations.

A little bit about me

Hello! I started working with kids when I was 15, working as a summer camp counselor on a farm camp. I loved it so much I worked 4 full summers there, teaching kids from 3-13 about animals, plants, food and fibers. I most recently worked at an educational nonprofit in Marin that teachers youth about the outdoors and farming. I get so much joy from spending time with kids and love sharing my passion for nature and the simple joys in life with them. I have an MSc in Agroecology and am looking for a position while I look for something long term for my career, but would be open to staying on to something part time if it worked out! I speak German and English and love cooking, knitting and sharing these activities with others.
