A little bit about me

My name is Nini and I am currently residing in Cambridge! I am taking a mild gap year off of college (Syracuse University) to publish poetry, while still taking classes online. I've worked with children in multiple spaces, including professional settings (assistant preschool teacher, camp counselor, babysitter) since I was 16! I specialize in working with preschool/elementary children, and focus on developing their communication skills and making sure they feel seen and heard. I find that each child's inherent curiosity and creativity to be wondrous, so I encourage them to explore any niche interests and miscellaneous questions they may have, especially in the sciences and arts. I have over four years of experience working with kids, has completed coursework in Early Childhood Education Under Cadence Education, have had the Covid vaccine, and is First Aid/CPR certified! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out, and I look forward to hearing from you!
