A little bit about me

**Hi, I’m Rita Foti!** I’ve worked with children for over four years and have experience with a wide age range—from toddlers (1–3 years) to older kids (6–8 and 10–13). I’m currently a teaching assistant at BOCES schools, where I also support children with special needs.

I’m CPR certified, calm, patient, and great at redirecting and problem-solving—skills that help me create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m especially available during evenings and weekends, and I’m currently looking to take on some extra babysitting work to support a local family.

Let me know if you think we’d be a good match—I’d love to chat!
