About Dex

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi!! I'm Dex (they/them), I am a 22-year-old college student on a semester off, looking for babysitting work. I love board games, and tend to lie on the nerdier side, but I also love to hike and spend time outdoors. I started working with kids when turned 16 and began coaching gymnastics. Since then I have coached kids ages 1-16, including experience working with kids who have behavioral challenges and autism. I have also spent my last two summers living and working at an all girls sleep away camp where I was a cabin counselor for 5th and 6th graders. Currently I am taking a semester off of college before transferring universities and finishing my undergraduate degree in ceramics. I am traveling abroad right now but will be back in Maine and available to start as soon as February 17th. • Gymnastics coach: 2019 - Present • Summer Camp Counselor: 2024 - Present • CPR and First Aid Trained • Red Cross Certified Lifeguard • Full drivers license and insured car

Look no further for a reliable, dependable and compassionate care giver for your child! Dex will provide an atmosphere of fun and adventure while keeping your child safe and calm while you are away. Dex shines as a gymnastics coach and does exceptionally well at every age group from walking to preteen children. They come with adaptive knowledge and an extreme desire to meet and exceed your childcare expectations. If you are looking for someone you can trust who will ease your mind while you are away, Dex is phenomenal!
