About Ava

I am a 19-year-old college student at Montana State University. I love being outdoors and I'm passionate about skiing, hiking, swimming, painting, and exploring. I have always loved working with and being around children. I'm the oldest of 3 and I started babysitting when I was 12 years old. Throughout high school, I taught private swim lessons and coached summer league swim team to kids ages 2-15. I was a competitive swimmer for over 10 years and found a love in teaching kids about something that had such a strong impact on my life. I am still CPR/AED and first aid certified. I have also taken child development and family health and development classes, which has given me the opportunity to work in preschools during the weekdays. Over the the summer, I worked as a private nanny for a family in my home town. I would be happy to provide references if requested.
