Working with kids for so many years, I have come to understand that children come into the world with a blank slate. The experiences, environment, adults, as well as surroundings are what shape them into who they become. I feel our responsibility as parents and teachers is to provide children with the best possible education, knowledge, and choices so they are able to grow to their maximum potential. I believe that children should be given the ability to become independent individuals by setting limits with positive discipline, praise, and encouragement. I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination, innocence, and creativity. I love interacting with kids, playing games, and doing outdoor activities with them. I enjoy the outdoors, snowboarding, hiking, camping, baseball games and traveling. I look forward to sitting for your child! My experiences with children varies. I have been baby sitter, camp Councillor, youth peer facilitator, youth mentor, a camp day leader for children, I love working with children; their inquisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around. I am responsible and dependable, but also fun and energetic. I have experience and am comfortable with newborns to young teens; my specialty is toddlers to age six, but am open to older children. My hobbies include yoga, skiing, hiking, running, traveling, cooking and reading.
