I have worked with children in a variety of settings, including as an art teacher at local community centers and an aftercare/enrichment teacher at elementary schools and summer programs. My primary experience is with 5-12 year olds, but I have some experience with preschool-age children as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified, experienced with neurodivergence/disability, a good cook, and I love pets. My goals as a caregiver are to promote children's autonomy while modeling appropriate boundaries, to listen attentively to kids, and to honor their play and curiosity. Some of my favorite ways to connect with kids include through creative projects, sharing books, and spending time outside. I love to encourage imaginative play and to learn from kids about their interests. I am proudly non-binary trans and I would love to work with queer kids and/or families.

Hey, I'm Austin, studying at the Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA. Babysitting and nanny job opportunities near the Central Washington University catch my interest. Get in touch with me, and we can talk about your family's needs and preferences!

During my high school years, I gained experience as a babysitter and tutor for a family with a 1st grader and a 5th grader, providing tutoring once a week while babysitting on weekends as needed. This role allowed me to support the children mainly academically while also planning fun and engaging activities on the weekedn. When I transitioned to college amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I became a nanny for a family with a kindergartener and a 2nd grader. In this capacity, I dove deeper into a family helper where my role included making meals and grocery shopping as well as light cleaning. Additonally helping the children navigate their schoolwork as the next school year had shifted to online learning. ​I adapted my approach to provide educational support, ensuring that their needs were met during these challenging times, while also fostering a sense of routine but alos engagement amidst during remote classes.
