A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Selena, and I have over five years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve spent multiple summers as a camp counselor for kids ages 2-4 and worked two summers full-time at a day camp where I was responsible for a group of first graders. I also spent a summer working with children on the spectrum, which helped me develop strong patience and adaptability.

During the school year, I work at a Montessori after-school program as the lead first grade counselor, where I organize crafts, science projects, and other engaging activities.

I am CPR and First Aid certified and have a driver’s license, my own car, and drivers ed training. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel comfortable. I’m excited to support families and build meaningful connections with the children I care for!
