Maile Risko

Santa Barbara

Summary

My name is Maile Risko and I am a fun and caring 21 year old. I just graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara with my Bachelors in Science. I enjoy working with children of all ages and love watching as they grow and learn. I have previously nannied for a family where I had responsibilities such as transporting their daughter to school and other activities, cooking meals, cleaning, putting their daughter to sleep, and taking care of their animals. While attending school I also got my Certified Nursing assistant license as I ultimately wish to become a nurse practitioner in the future. I worked as a certified nursing assistant at Vista Del Monte in Santa Barbara and I am currently working for a family in Summerland taking care of their daughter with medical needs. I am also EMT certified, CPR certified, and BLS certified. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, and helping with any household chores. I have been riding horses since I was six years old so in my free time I love to go to the barn and ride.

Hobbies/Interests

I love nature, the outdoors, hiking, surfing, and skiing. I grew up riding horses so in my free time I like to go to the barn to ride. I love art and literature so  reading is a very big part of my life. I'm one of 16 cousins so I have been surrounded my kids and chaos my entire life and I think I thrive best in that kind of environment. I grew up with 2 brothers so I'm great at building forts and playing in the dirt. I'm fun, outgoing, and always up for something new.
