Hello parents! I'm Ava, I am currently a 4th-year student at Oregon State studying sociology. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and transferred to online school when I was 17 to work full-time as a nanny with an amazing family. Since then I have worked full-time at a highly accredited preschool for a summer and completed child safety and well-being courses at PSU to gain certificates for that position. I also participated in not only tutoring of students k-8th but also experienced being a peer tutor for 9-10 math while I was in high school. I may not have had siblings but I had foster siblings coming in and out of my home and caring for people is very much a part of my personality. I just got accepted an internship at ODHS (Oregon Department of Human Services) to help make sure foster homes are safe for children Read more and teens. Now time for some more fun things about me, In the summer I love to go swimming, fishing, and hiking. I have played many sports from softball to basketball and anything in between. I used to play, baritone horn, violin, cello, stand-up bass, and percussion growing up. I used to play a lot of video games growing up and in my teens. I also grew up with many pets and I currently have a couple of fish (Frank and Chubbs).
