About Hailey

When I was a kid, I had the best babysitter. She baked cookies, taught me how to make microwave recipes (which I used in college), braided my hair, played dolls, went hiking, had dance parties, read books and did crafts. I still strive to be that kind of babysitter. I also loved camp as a child, and when I was old enough, I signed up to be a 4-H camp counselor. Since then I've also served as a camp counselor at a camp for kids with learning disabilities and as a camp counselor for Girls on the Run. I pursued a career in education and was a special education teacher for 8 years and two years as a general education teacher. I made the difficult decision to leave teaching and pursue working with kids in ways that involve less paperwork and more focus on engaging the kids in my care in activities that spark their learning and imagination.
