About Valerie

Experience: 5 yrs

I'm a college graduate with a varied experience working with children (and pets)! My background includes babysitting, tutoring, Girl Scouts, music mentorship, and currently, coaching at a rock climbing gym, where I lead active, engaging practices for kids, teens, and adults several times a week. My formal career experience has been in the creative industry, and I love to help children explore their passions in art and music. I will be attending graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania in the fall. Overall, I love working with kids of all ages and fostering a love for the outdoors and the arts.

I recommend Valerie!! She watched my two kids (9 and 12) while we were in Cleveland for a wedding. I've only ever had family watch them so I was a tiny bit nervous, but Valerie was wonderful and the kids were totally comfortable with her the whole time. She fed them dinner, kept them occupied with board games and hide-and-seek, and got them to bed at a reasonable hour. Thank you so much, Valerie!
