About Athena

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I first started working with children at age 13, when I began learning to teach martial arts to kids as young as 3. Since then, I have gained experience as an ESL teacher, a farm educator, a reading teacher, and a nanny for 4 different families. I spent several years working with children with behavioral difficulties, and I have spent the last few years working with children with disabilities. In addition, I also frequently care for my preschool- and school-age nieces and nephews. I love spending time with kids and helping to inspire them to be all that they can be. Currently, I am working a M-F 8-4 job in the school system, so I am looking for occasional evening or weekend babysitting. If you're looking for someone for an evening out, give me a shout!

We hired Athena as an after school nanny to care for and transport our two children ages 10 and 12. She is a terrific caregiver and my children adored her. My 10 years old has autism and she and he became the best of buddies. When my job ended and we had to break it to the children that they could no longer see Athena daily they grieved for weeks. She is warm, passionate, thoughtful, energetic and fun loving.
