Hello! I am currently a 4th year full time student at UCSB. I am finishing up my last quarter with a double major in Economics and Biopsychology. I have 8 years experience working in childcare and have had the opportunity to work with an expansive demographic as well. Previously I have worked as a nanny for 3 children ( 6 mo, 3 yr, 5 yr) and have been a baby-sitter for children with ages ranging from newborn up to 12 years. In the past I worked as a behavioral technician giving me experience with children who have disabilities. I have the ability to cook, clean, and provide tutoring on an as needed basis and have 4+ years of tutoring experience for all subjects within current common core curriculum for grades k-12. My biopsychology degree has an emphasis in developmental psychology providing me with formal education in child development aiding my Read more childcare skills. I love people, animals and the outdoors, and have experience petsitting as well.
