A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a soon-to-be graduate from Cornell University who loves working with kids and creating a fun, safe environment for them to thrive. I’ve been a lifeguard for over six years, so safety is always my top priority and I am CPR and First-Aid certified. I’ve also babysat for many families, caring for children of all ages. I have worked as a swim instructor for ages 4-16, so I have experience coming up with engaging and enriching activities for kids in the summertime. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy coming up with creative activities, helping with homework, and keeping kids engaged. My father is a chef, so I've been watching and learning from him my whole life-- I love to make meals and snacks that appeal to a wide variety of ages and tastes! I have also worked as a math tutor for K-12 students and an SAT tutor. I’d love to support your family however I can!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am currently a Senior at Adelphi University. I am a Psychology Major in a 5-year education program. In May 2025 I will graduate with my bachelors in psychology and then in May 2026 I will graduate with my masters in Childhood Education with an Early Childhood Extension and an advanced certificate in Students with Disabilities.
I previously worked at an Early Learning center and spent my time with preschoolers. Now I work at a Daycare and I spend most of my time in infants and toddlers (6 weeks old to 3 years old) but I am always happy to be with the older kids.
I have also been a nanny over the summer which included various responsibilities.
