A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Avery! I am a 24-year-old female who will be relocating to the Denver area between the months of July/August 2022.
I grew up in Columbus, Ohio; with a mother who worked as a full-time babysitter... and let me tell you- I claimed the title of "mommy's little helper" with immense pride.
After that, it was only a matter of time before I started babysitting & nannying on my own!
I'm also an experienced personal & administrative assistant; equipped to deal with business/office matters and personal/residential matters, property management, and much more.
I am a musician of 17 years and currently provide guitar lessons for two tween girls here in Columbus, and I would love to continue that in Colorado!
I am hopeful and eager to hear from you!

( To health-conscious families; I have quite a few of my own diet restrictions/ food allergies, and am more than happy to accommodate difficult diets/meal plans. And I am fully vaccinated.)

Sara
"My children loved when Avery was their caretaker because she was always willing to play games, have dance parties, and actively interact with them during her time with them. They have fond memories of their time spent with her. I appreciated coming home to a clean house and Avery was always flexible with my schedule."

More About Me

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

I have 10+ years of childcare experience and about 4 years of nannying experience.
In 2015 I volunteered with Vida 220 for one week in Costa Rica; serving the local community & after-school programs where we assisted with the children's homework, English studies & afternoon activities.
Additionally, In 2019 I volunteered with Ikhaya le Themba; an after-school program within the informal settlement of imizamo yethu, in Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa. There I stayed for one month and worked directly with the students for 2 hours each day after school. We led the students in their independent reading studies, homework, and projects, coordinated crafts, and several different games and activities, and prepared & served the students & staff their afternoon meal.
Lastly- My very first job in High school was lifeguarding at the local pool in Columbus, where I provided assistance with adolescent swimming lessons.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Playing games/ cards/ board games, Making Music (!!),
Drawing/ Painting,
Arts & Crafts,
Bike Rides/ Walking trails,
Going Swimming,
Going to the playground,
Checking out museums,
Making deliciously-healthy snacks!
(I have a lot of diet restrictions/food allergies, so if you're a health-forward family- I'm your gal!)

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure the child's best interests are at heart; providing positive reinforcements, encouragement, & redirection in order to implement stability; within the child's emotional, mental, and physical health- is crucial in being able to witness a child flourish & grow.
I am there for the kids!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Aside from being a nanny, I'm also a musician & independent guitar instructor. I will never forget when 2 of my girls started learning guitar; and how so very excited they were to show me what they had learned. That was the sweetest moment in the world for me.

Bree V. - Seeking Work in Lakewood

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Lakewood, CO: Bree V.

Hello I’m Bree!! I have been babysitting for a few years now and was working at my first day care until I was laid off due to Covid-19. I am now working at my second preschool. I have experience with younger aged kids ranging from a newborn up to 9 year olds. My child care experience consisted of watching kids in a church every Friday night making sure they were fed, playing with them, taking them to the bathroom when they needed to go, changed them, they had tons of stuff to entertain them while I was watching them, putting them down for naps, cleaning them if they were messy. Watching kids made me understand the care of kids more and it was a great experience to not only care for others but build a strong bond with them. I am CPR certified, vaccinated, and have my own transportation! Hope you’re doing well and staying healthy. 😊
