I graduated in May 2022 with a BA in Asian Studies and a BA in Education. I have 7 siblings, all but one is younger than me. I also have two nephews and 2 nieces who are under the age of 2 that I occasionally take care of. I have been a sitter for classmates, as well as coworkers, and a previous boss. I have been a student teacher for multiple different age groups ranging from infants to 12 years of age. I have also taken a class on Special Needs education and have experience with children who have certain special needs and/or ADHD/Bipolar. I am open to many new cultures, languages, and experiences. I was a TA at my university for 2 years and can teach Chinese to Children (as I was a teacher at Rainbow Riders Chinese emersion classroom). I have also tutored for musical instruments, English, Math, Read more and Reading before. Although I only have a collective of 2.5 year of paid experience, I have been doing a mix of all of these on a volunteer basis for about 9 years or more. Not including taking care of my siblings and their kids.
