Bachelor’s Degree in Family and Child Studies

I earned a bachelor’s degree in Family and Child studies in 2013. I enjoy traveling and I have a great appreciation for the outdoors and all it has to offer. My passion for the National Parks has lead me to explore, learn and visit more than 16 US parks! My work experience has always centered around children, from camp counselor to working in the infant room at a daycare center. After graduating from college, I spent a year traveling, living and working in Australia as an au pair. I was fortunate to be able to travel with the Australian family where I gained experience as a travel nanny. That year was a step out of my comfort zone, but I cherish the experience I gained, in not only child care, but real-life experiences and opportunities. Prior to moving to Wyoming, I worked for a family with two sets of twins under the age of two. This experience solidified the fact that I am in a profession that truly is my calling. I spent the summer of 2017 working as a personal nanny for owners of a dude ranch in Jackson Hole. For the past year and a half, I have enjoyed my days as a live-in nanny/household manager for a local Jackson family. When I began working with this family, the children were eight years old and seven months. I really enjoy watching them grow and helping to foster their individual interests and abilities. In the past three years, my travel resume has expanded such that I would like to combine my love of children and travel as part of my employment offerings. I am comfortable in airports and in airplanes and am confident in anticipating children’s needs in order to make sure everyone enjoys their travel experience and vacation.
