About me

Over the last 15 years, I have worked with children in a variety of different settings. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree, I worked as a special education paraprofessional, a gifted and talented teacher, and finally became a teacher and taught first and second grade for four years. I have experience babysitting and teaching children ages 1 to 13 years old and have enjoyed working with children of all ages! I am currently enrolled in a Master's degree program, studying speech language pathology, and absolutely love it! Working with children is my passion and I feel that I use my expertise in education and speech pathology to make my babysitting a fun, unique, and enriched experience. While completing my Master's program, I work as a substitute teacher at a preschool in Manhattan with children ages 3 months old- 5 years old. I also work as a private educational tutor throughout Manhattan.

I began working with children when I was in middle school, as a mother's helper and babysitter. As I progressed through high school and college, I worked full time each summer for one family. I began working with this family when the two girls were age 5 and 7 and continued with them until they were 12 and 14 years old. My responsibilities included homework help, meal preparation for the children, clean up (dishes and toys), driving them to their camps, taking them swimming, and keeping them busy with crafts, games, and other activities during long summer days. Over the years, I have also babysat my infants and toddlers on an as-needed basis.

As babysitter, I love being a part of children's growth, development and shaping their young, impressionable minds. I feel every moment in their development counts and I am passionate about creating meaningful activities as a babysitter that will facilitate this development, all while having a great time!
