While doing that, I have also been an assistant 2s teacher at a private preschool in Westport for 3 years. I am currently the Head 4s teacher at Hill Farm Preschool in Fairfield. I have been in this position for 3 years. I have been babysitting since I was 11 for local families at home in NY. I have babysat for children from the ages of newborn to early high school. I love children and have a great amount of knowledge about how to be an excellent role model and care Read more giver. I have worked with children for a long time. I have run many Vacation Bible School groups, as well as many different camps. I have been a camp counselor for the last five years.
