My internship at East Prairie Elementary school ends Nov. 24th.
I’ve also worked as a long-term nanny and as a Lead Preschool Teacher at JCC Beth Emet, managing school pick-ups, driving to activities, homework help, meal prep, and keeping after-school routines running smoothly. I have a music background as well—I’m a singer/songwriter (Burr Oak) with a BA in Music—and I love using music in creative, grounding ways when appropriate.
