Favorite Crayola color: Wisteria
Background: I am currently a student at Florida State pursuing my degree in Hospitality with a concentration in Recreation and Tourism Management. I first started babysitting in middle school for my neighbor, and continued to babysit for many different local families all throughout high school. I have also had experience caring for kids in more formal settings, including Sunday Schools, VBS, and as an intern in an elementary school. I've cared for kids ranging in age 2 to 13, and have cared for kids with varying needs, including kids with developmental delays and allergies. I've always loved working with kids, and I cannot wait to have the chance to get to know your little ones!
She’s cared for children as young as: 2 years old
Future plans: In the next five to ten years, I hope to have graduated from FSU and have a career in the recreation field. My overall goal is to work as a camp director, as I love working with kids and the outdoors, but I would be happy anywhere that lets me be outdoors, whether that be with Campus Recreation somewhere or in a National or State Park. I also hope that I'll be in a healthy, stable relationship, and maybe have kids of my own!
When she’s not babysitting: I can usually be found outdoors, whether it's studying on Landis Green, working at the Rez, or reading out by the pool. I love to read, and you can almost always find a new book in my bag. I also like to make jewelry, and I have a small jewelry business!
