Oh, hi there! You’re looking for a babysitter now, are ya? Well, I am ready to go ASAP aaaand i am locked and loaded with creative activities of all kinds to keep your children happy, healthy, and curious. I’m Aspen! My elevator-identity-pitch is that I’m a playful, adaptable, and high-energy (and patience hehe) 25 year old human and artist. I just moved back to Richmond yesterday after giving grad school for sculpture and teaching a try. While I decided not to complete my degree, the lessons I learned during my time at school and teaching cleared my vision and mind enough to see the true path that my soul calls me to. I learned that what really fuels my fire is supporting the community’s I am apart of or am otherwise able to support. I feel most fulfilled when the work I do is able to empower others through silliness Read more and play, and give people both moments of joy and laughter along with the confidence and safety to sit with difficult emotions. I have worked with kids since I was one myself, as I started out assisting and eventually teaching dance classes for K-6th graders when I was 13. I then had my first job as a nanny for a 5th and 6th grader when I was 17. From that point forward, I have had the pleasure of working with children of all ages as a nanny, babysitter, teacher, mentor, etc. I love connecting with people of all ages, and learn so much in the presence of children that supports the artwork I make! I appreciate and value the unique minds of children of all kinds, and can work with anyone patiently and with care! Is this sounding in alignment for you? Let’s chat more about it! :)
