Hi, I'm Avery! I'm a current student at Arlington High School and am enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program, which gives important and valuable information about child development. I have 5+ years of childcare experience. I used to be a swim instructor and have CPR and lifesaver training for all ages and would be happy to give swim lessons for an increased fee. I currently have a driver's license but inconsistent access to a car so if children need to be picked up/dropped off I would need access to a vehicle. Looking forward to meeting you!
