I love being around children and have always gravitated towards them. I was raised with my mother running a daycare out of our house, so I am very comfortable around children of all ages. At the age of 12, I started babysitting the neighbourhood children and my nieces/nephews. I also assisted/taught swim lessons for about 6 years. I then went to Iowa State University for elementary education and volunteered at a local school with an after school program for underprivileged families.
After I left school, I decided to follow my other interests or shall we say dreams, which was travelling and exploring the world. Over the past 7 years I have travelled across the world and lived in 3 other countries. Because of this, I have grown as a person and learned by experience. I met my significant other while travelling, and we have lived in Sydney, Australia over the past 5 years. I also furthered my studies while in Australia but more in the health spectrum side of things.
As you can see, I have a variety of interests and can adapt to most situations. I am outgoing, bubbly and have been told I can be a bit of a Chatty Cathy at times. I love being outside, walking and doing activities but I also enjoy being indoors, working on a project or reading a good book.
I started babysitting when I was 12. I started assisting and teaching swim lessons from the age of 15. I went to school for elementary education and volunteered at a local after school program for underprivileged families. In Feb 2021 I started nannying for premature twins girls, helping with developmental milestones and all the wonderful things babies need. Unfortunately the family relocated to the US and I am looking for another amazing family.
