About Ava

Experience: 5 yrs

CPR certified Lifeguard certified Swim instructor certified Safe sleep certified Hi, my name is Ava. I'm currently a freshman at SEMO majoring in Psychology with a minor in Childhood Trauma. I'm from Saint Charles and am the oldest sibling with three younger brothers. I have five years of experience working in childcare, where I've held positions as an infant teacher, toddler teacher, kindergarten camp counselor, and more. I also have experience tutoring and currently maintain a 4. 0 GPA. Outside of academics and work, I'm actively involved in my sorority, AXO. I love coordinating crafts and creative activities, teaching swim lessons, and spending time outdoors. In my free time, you can usually find me fishing, playing sports, or doing anything active and hands-on.

I had the opportunity to work with Ava when she periodically watched my 4-year-old while she was in high school, and I cannot recommend her enough. Ava was always incredibly reliable, patient, and caring. My child absolutely loved spending time with her and always felt comfortable and safe in her care. She did a great job keeping my child engaged with fun activities while also maintaining a calm and positive environment. What stood out most was how naturally she connected with my child. She was attentive, responsible, and truly seemed to enjoy what she was doing, which made a big difference to me as a parent. We were sad to lose her when we moved to Cape Girardeau , but any family would be lucky to have Ava as their caregiver. I highly recommend her!
