About Joanna

I enjoy creating safe, creative, playful experiences where kids can be themselves -- homework and dinner first, then we can read a book in a tree or have a pillow fight. I tend to be pretty high-energy and deeply silly as a babysitter, while also maintaining firm safety and respect boundaries. Most of my lifelong childcare experience is from homeschool co-ops, children's and youth ministries, wilderness camp counseling, one-time babysitting gigs in my extended network, and caring for my newborn niece and younger cousins. -I can transport up to 3 children in my car safely and have a clean driving record. -I have experience teaching swim lessons and have a passion for helping people of all ages feel confident and comfortable in the pool! -I'm a social worker beginning online grad school in the fall. I'm seeking temporary/exploratory work as a summer fun babysitter/nanny to explore whether long-term childcare is a good fit for me during school!
