Music and special stories . also add fun to the day. I have excellent references I’ve worked as a preschool teacher and a nanny for more than 10 years. And I still enjoy every single day

Declan $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!

Brikel $25 per hour for 1 child

I absolutely love children! I grew up helping care for younger siblings and went on to study human development in college. I graduated with an emphasis in family studies and learned a lot about child development. I worked as a preschool teacher in Southern Utah before spending two years abroad as an English teacher to children ages 2-12. I have volunteered with children in a Chinese orphanage and worked with children in a number of different capacities. I recently went back to school and I am a full time student right now. I love arts and crafts, dancing, animals, and anything outdoors. I adore spending my days with little ones and helping them explore the world.
