About Josey

My passion for childcare and teaching started 9 years ago when I became a lifeguard/swim instructor with the city of Phoenix. I learned life saving skills including CPR/AED, first aid, emergency detection, etc., and also formed a proficient work ethic. After 3 years in Phoenix, I began senior year in Tucson while working as a Tutor/babysitter. After graduation, at 17 years old, I became closing lead instructor at Saguaro Aquatics. A year later I sought other skills, becoming a barista, helping open the first NW Tucson Dutch Bros while taking a RBT course to learn ABA therapy in order to implement it in my teaching. I took a second job instructing at Demont Family Swim School, but my time was cut short due to COVID and I moved to Chicago 8/2020. I worked in service industry learning more about myself and just how strong my work ethic is. In 2022 I began instructing again, honing my skills speaking to and teaching children.
