I am 27 years old and have been working with kids in the outdoors for the last 4 years. I was trained in wilderness education and nature mentoring, and I am great at being a role model and positive figure for kids, as well as someone safe to talk to. For the past 4 years I have been running wilderness survival programs for kids and teens ages 7-18, keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged in the outdoors in all weather conditions, and teaching them wilderness skills! You can feel safe leaving your kids with me because through working in adverse environmental conditions I have developed great risk assessment skills. In the past I have taken Wilderness First Responder training programs as well as basic first aid.
I am skilled in mentoring (not just babysitting), and I can take your kids outside. I am also an accomplished artist, and play guitar and sing, and I love to engage with kids in art and music.
If you're looking for more than just a babysitter, look no more. I can provide quality connection. I care deeply about the future generations and the safety and well being of children and young adults. My guarantee to you is to keep your kids engaged and make every visit something exciting to look forward to, and help them engage in the things that they love to do.
I prefer to work with kids 7+ years of age, but I could work with younger kids (4-6) as well although I have less experience in that area.
