About me
I am currently working as a Spanish co-teacher in a Montessori / IB preschool. I have worked with children for the last 5 years in a variety of settings, including school and home. My experience includes art class, date night, preschool, tutor, birthday parties, and working regularly with a family as their nanny. I have had the pleasure of working with and caring for children ages 6 months - 12 years, both boys and girls. I graduated from Brooklyn College cum laude with a degree in speech language pathology and audiology as well as linguistics. Aside from my academic training I am also CPR and First Aid certified.
I would say people find me to be a fun, energetic, patient, and creative instructor. Working with children is truly special and a wonderfully happy “job” to have. I have chosen this field because I genuinely enjoy collaborating with young minds as well as being influenced by the perspective they take on life. I find it incredibly inspiring to observe children experience new things while they develop on others.
