A little bit about me

I am a 27 year old dog-mom looking for a job in which I feel I can do something important. I have always wanted to work with kids but didn’t know where to start or if it was the right position for me.

I have done retail jobs, restaurants, event planning, office, and non profit work in the past. The one thing that I consistently felt in all of these positions was unfulfilled as the work wasn’t directly aligned with my personal values. Even at the non-profit job I was tasked with back of house duties such as budgeting for leadership and foster parent training events. I did not feel like my work made a difference.

I truly value knowledge, creativity, whimsy, individualism, the environment, and just making the world a better place for the kids we bring into it. While I am fully aware of how cheesy this all sounds, I still believe in this wholeheartedly.

I think that caring for young ones is the most fulfilling thing someone could do because at the end of the day, they are our future!

A little bit about me

I have been teaching, mainly preschoolers since 2005. I'm interested in babysitting over the summer, to put the money towards my daughter's private school tuition. I have two children of my own so I would love a position in which I can pick the children up, bring them back to my home, feed them, engage with them and drop them off at home when needed.
