I have worked with children ever since my teens. professional childcare was 5+ years at an early childhood education center. I have now been a parent for 12+ years.
Hi! I'm Julia, a 17 (almost 18) year old senior in high school. I have my driver's license and drive my own car. I have been trained and certified in first aid, AED, and adult and child CPR through my school's health class. I have also been trained in food service. I love working with animals and young children, I have worked with children through VBS, and my Church's nursery. I plan on going to college for animal rescue as well! I am usually pretty flexible, the only issue I would have with scheduling is Color Guard practices, dance, school events, church events, and family events. I also usually have choir after school every Monday from 2:40-4:00. I have school from 7:55-2:40. On Thursday, I have dance from 7:45-8:45, and I have Color guard practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the week either 5-8 or 2-6. I don't have these rehearsals every week, so I may be free on those days. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

I drive and can come to your home. Currently attending Norman North High School, I'm eager to provide a fun and safe environment for your little ones! As a dynamic and passionate junior at Norman North High School, I am actively engaged in both Color Guard and Winter Guard. I possess a diverse array of talents, showcasing a strong artistic flair through dance, theater, writing, painting, drawing, and piano. Committed to personal growth and creativity, I have a strong passion for tending to others' needs as well as pursuing a career in healthcare or veterinary care, and a strong sense of empathy for others. Diligence is a valuable trait to possess as an individual, and it is another one of my strengths.
