I grew up as the oldest of four sisters. I have been babysitting since I was eleven for local families and friends, for kids age eight months to over ten years old. I assisted running the afterschool program as a volunteer at a Community Center weekly during my junior year in high school. At my synagogue where I went to religious school and had my Bat Mitzvah, I became an assistant teacher and helped to teach students in my community there as well. I graduated from assistant teacher to teacher and ran the preschool class in my final year working there. I taught the preschoolers about Jewish holidays, Hebrew letters, and Jewish culture. I also ran the art club. I have had a lot of community experience with kids and I enjoy new experiences outside my community as well.
