I am going into my 5th year of University. I am working to become a teacher with plans to become a Waldorf school teacher after that. I myself was raised in a Waldorf environment and so, have been very influenced by the desire to teach holistically with a strong focus on play, art and nature. I support alternative parenting and am very adaptable. I have experience working with children through babysitting, a practicum and tutoring. I have first aid training as well I am very comfortable in the water, as I have life guarding training too.
