A little bit about me

I value consistent and clear communication (between myself and guardians), creating a physically and emotionally safe space for your kids, and building relationships with you and your kids (and pets too!).

I'm a rising senior (undergrad) at SU in their Studio Arts program. I love being outside, arts & crafts, sports, cooking, and I'm flexible in a pinch! (*the last family I worked with had 4 kids, so I can definitely roll with the punches!)

I'm planning on going back to school for a masters in either disability studies or social work (more likely for the former)!

A little bit about me

Hello! I am going into my senior year at Syracuse University where I am studying mechanical engineering and I love working with children. I have recently had the pleasure of working at a summer camp where I cared for kids ranging from ages 4 to 16. I enjoy creating engaging and fun activities, ensuring safety, and fostering a supportive environment where children can thrive. I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family and help create a positive experience for your children.
