Hi, I am a Denver native who grew up in the George Washington High School area. I have been working with children and youth since I was 15. Highlights of jobs I have had with children are volunteering as emotional intelligence mentor for middle school children, volunteering in Nicaragua for elementary school children, working as a nanny for newborns to 2-year-olds during Sunday services at a nearby church, working as a paraprofessional for the third grade with DPS as well as a substitute teacher, and working as a full time preschool teacher in Mexico. All jobs alongside babysitting jobs for the past 10 years. I am a licensed Anthropologist and Massage Therapist and have lived in over 9 countries in Latin America. I have worked as a relief and on-call residential coordinator for two major organizations serving homeless adults and seniors for 5 years.
