A little bit about me

My name is Sasha Alvarez and am currently a 3rd year at the University of California, Santa Barbara! From babysitting within my own family and community to coaching surfing for Sea League, I've found immense joy in nurturing and guiding young minds. One of my passions is fostering bilingualism, as I am fluent in Spanish and English. Being CPR certified ensures that I can handle any situation with calmness and competence. Additionally, I actively run an outreach program for younger students, which has deepened my understanding of child development and the importance of individualized care.
