Hello! I'm a recent college graduate from the University of Virginia, receiving a B.A. in Biology and a B.A. in Women, Gender, and Sexuality. I stayed in Charlottesville post graduation working 9 AM - 5 PM Monday - Friday. I am currently taking one to two gap years as I figure out what kind of graduate level education I want to pursue. I am the youngest of 5 kids, and have been an aunt since I was 8 years old, when my oldest sister had her first child. Over the last 14 years, I have become an aunt to 7 nieces and nephews. Since I was 15, I have served as their babysitter for various periods of time over the past 7 years. What I love most about children is seeing their individuality develop, and helping to support that process. I am an outgoing person, but I am very understanding Read more of children needing or wanting a calmer, quieter environment. I have also worked as a care provider at UVA Medical Center as a Certified Nursing Assistant on a post-surgical floor for almost two years. Prior to my care role as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I worked as a lifeguard in my hometown for three years. In addition to my professional experience as a care provider and lifeguard, and prior time as a sitter, I am CPR certified for both infants and adults, and I am First Aid certified. I am looking for a part time gig in the evenings for date nights or something similar. Again, I live and work in the Charlottesville area, so let me know if you need some help!
