About Gavin

Hi, I'm Gavin! I'm 23 years old and have spent the past few years working with kids as a youth coach at a local climbing gym and nannying for kids ages 1-9 years old. I have a deep appreciation for the wonder of childhood and enjoy helping them grow through play and exploration. For the past two years, I've cared for a curious 3-year-old and 5-year-old. I have also spent the past three years with an energetic 9-year-old. Both experiences have taught me much about patience, creativity, and how important it is to nurture kids through gently structured adventure and time in nature. I have first aid and wilderness survival training, and I love sharing my passion for the outdoors with the kids I care for. Whether we're climbing, building forts, or exploring a nearby park, I believe unstructured, nature-based play helps children build confidence, imagination, and a sense of wonder. When I'm not with the kids, you can usually find me rock climbing, hiking, or trying out a new outdoor sport.
