A little bit about me
I am a sophomore at Boston University studying Political Science with a High School Diploma, looking for part time or occasional babysitting opportunities. All of my working experience has been with children, but in many different settings. I have worked at a summer camp the past 4 summers, mainly with kids kindergarten-age, and I worked at an elementary school after-school program while I was in high school. I am very artsy- I love music and arts and crafts; I am also a very dedicated student and can help with all sorts of homework.
