About Meriel

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'd describe my personality as kind, patient, and enthusiastic. I like working with kids because they are so open-minded, creative, and unjudgmental. I'm looking for a job that allows me to help build confidence, creativity, athleticism, and self-worth in the kids for whom I care. I started working with kids when I was in high school. I was a nanny for several years and also a kindergarten teacher for 6 years. In my spare time, I like to backpack, ski, do artwork, travel, volunteer, dance, cook, read, ride horses, and spend time with my family and dogs. One thing you should know about me is that I'm honest and dependable. My skills include patience, boundary setting, and being a good role model.

Meriel ghosted us. We spoke twice. She assured me she had saved the date. We talked about my sons needs. We were planning on spending one on one time with our older son and we all bought lift tickets based on the assumption that we had child care coverage for my 3 year old. I reached out the week before to check in that we were all set and NO RESPONSE. now we are unable to find coverage this late in the game. I’m so frustrated and disappointed. 🤬
