A little bit about me

I love being a sitter because I get a chance to connect with young children/adults and influence them the way others have influenced me. I also have a driver's license and my own car. I just completed my first year at St. Lawrence University, expected to graduate in 2029 with a double major in biology and English. I intend to acquire a master's in education and be a high school-level biology teacher. At St. Lawrence I am a member of several clubs and a part of the St. Lawrence Division 3 field hockey team, all while maintaining a 3.76 GPA. I enjoy all types of outdoor activities, especially skiing and hiking. I grew up showing cows at my local county fair, so I am comfortable with any size or type of animal in the home! Please note I am unavaliable from June 5th - July 2 and after August 16th.

More About Me

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

I have been paid for childcare for about 5 years, gaining experience with all ages of children from as young as 5 months old to as old as 14. Additionally, I have experience in sports coaching both as an alpine ski racing coach at Gore Mountain's NYSEF program and through the youth OSAA Field Hockey Program, where I served as the head 5th-6th coach my junior and senior years of high school. I also have some experience with children with special needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am a very active person, so I prefer to do engaging activities with children that do not require screens and are typically outdoors.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part is to engage with the children in a positive way and not be uninvolved by placing them in front of a screen.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with slight disabilities, including autism, ADHD, severe social anxiety and vision loss.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching one of my kids overcome her fear of skiing a double black and doing it with her!
