About Thomas

I'd describe my personality as adventurous, adaptable, and artistic. I like working with kids because they are often curious and inspired! I'm looking for a job that is stable and ideally more long term, with a family that I can truly connect with! I started working with kids when I became a river guide at 19, and have since worked with hundreds of children. I have led countless trips of boy scouts, girl scouts, schools and camps down committing whitewater, often being the main guide responsible for up to 100 children. I am very active and love climbing, hiking, playing tennis, and kayaking. I'm an avid chess player and lover of all board games. Also, I've been writing poetry since I was 16 and I make music. One thing you should know about me is kids love me! I have the energy of a fun uncle, but am also quite capable of being stern when the need arises. I also love to cook! My skills include being safety-oriented, patient, communicative and compassionate!
