I'm originally from Montclair, NJ. I'm an arts educator, writer, and performing artist! I also ran a Shakespeare company, The Montclair Shakespeare Series in my home town. I embarked on a road trip three years ago, traveled for a year, worked at Grand Canyon National Park as a supervisor in the tours department for about a year and a half, before settling in Phoenix for theatre and teaching gigs. I'm looking for babysitting work this summer and beyond while I work on my portfolio for graduate school. I currently teach Drama, English, History, and Humanities from age 3-high school, and perform as a Disney Princess for events all over NJ! In New Jersey, I spent time full-time nannying a very bright and energetic 2 year old. I've also worked with kids ages 4-12 regularly for years, assistant teaching, babysitting, and supervising a "backyard camp" for the kids in my neighborhood Read more for a few summers. I love theatre, literature, and the outdoors. Despite my focus on the arts, I also played sports: softball, soccer, basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, and was a competitive swimmer for years. I'm also a big sister, and have been leading younger kids in games and fun activities for my whole life! For me, the greatest part of working with kids is getting them involved in something creative and seeing how they run with it!
