About me

Hello! My name is Genevieve, I'm a graduate student at Columbia and I love kids! I'm hoping to find a family to support in a part-time position while I pursue my degree.

I've worked extensively with kids throughout my teenage years and into adulthood. For several years in high school, I volunteered at a drop-in Saturday daycare center and a preschool classroom in the summers. I helped with everything from mealtime to nap time to read aloud and field trips! I enjoyed it thoroughly and went on to work as a camp counselor for this same school during the summer in undergrad. I led a group of roughly fifteen eight to eleven year olds in full days of activities including crafts, sports, field trips, mealtime, park trips, and so much more.

Last year, I nannied a second grader who was doing school fully remotely. I felt this was a really special experience -- it was so rewarding to be her buddy and help her have good days in such strange circumstances. In addition to helping her stay on top of her Zoom classes, I made sure she had healthy lunches, lots of time riding bikes and playing sports outside, and lots of pretend and board games for rainy days inside. Once she returned to school, I picked her up each day and took her to the park, the museum, and sometimes the ice cream truck!

I also worked as a TA in undergrad so I have a leg up in helping with schoolwork and encouraging reading and writing. I'm reliable, energetic, and experienced -- I love reading, running, and exploring the city! I look forward to meeting you and discussing what your family is looking for.
