A little bit about me

Hi families! I’m an upcoming third year student at UCSB who is looking for a fun way to spend the summer. I worked with kids with learning and developmental disabilities in high school, and have a younger “brother” (Godmother’s son) who I have been hanging out with since he was born in 2011. We love going to the movies, the park, and swimming. We build legos, work on homework, and frequent the trampoline park. He has a nanny most of the time, so I consider myself more of a friend towards him! I’d love to be your child’s friend as well as a teacher of sorts. I can’t wait to build a relationship with your family - I believe I have just as much to learn from your child as they do from me!
