I am an experienced babysitter, teacher, and tutor who loves fostering children's curiosity and encouraging them to explore their surroundings in a fun and healthy way. I have worked with kids of all ages and diverse backgrounds, and enjoy helping them develop into unique individuals accepting of others' differences. I am bilingual and bicultural, and am First Aid and CPR certified. I went to Harvard College for my bachelor’s degree and the University of Michigan for my Master’s. I’ve been in the field of education as an advisor and teacher since graduating from college. I look forward to hearing from you. Hi! I have been caring for children since I was 13, both as a babysitter and at that point also as a ballet assistant teaching girls as young 3 to dance. I have continued to babysit kids of all ages, and love teaching and learning from them. I enjoy Read more playing any type of game, reading children's books (I own many of my favorites). I have also taught middle and high school, and have worked at summer programs for kids. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, having grown up in Puerto Rico. I attended Harvard College and the University of Michigan for grad school. I believe in creating a nurturing environment, in which learning and playing are encouraged. I also love furry friends:) I look forward to hearing from you.
