Student athlete missing her students

Hello! My name is Tarynn, and I’m a 17 year old student athlete and older sister of four. I have been working with kids professionally as a swim instructor for a year and a half, and I love it so much. As an older sister of disabled siblings, I have acquired many useful caretaking skills just by growing up. From November-February, my schedule is very tight because of my place on the Elkhorn Swim and Dive team. However, I miss working with children and would like to still earn money during the season. I have been driving for four years, and learned how to drive in the snow, so transportation will not be an issue. I’d love to get to know you and your little ones!
