A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lily, and I'm a junior at Columbia studying education and second language acquisition. I’m originally from California and have been in the city for 2 years. In high school, I worked full time as a nanny during summer for two families: one with a 6-month-old baby, and another with 3 children, including a newborn. I currently work part time as an ESL teacher for Chinese and Russian students. Additionally, I worked in Brazil last summer at an elementary school, teaching English and doing research on second language acquisition in children. I love working with kids and seeing them grow and learn.

Regarding my interests and goals, I have a passion for learning languages, and I speak 6 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Korean and Chinese. This upcoming semester, I will study abroad in Taiwan to fully learn Chinese. In the future, I want to continue doing research into second language learning. I also love drawing, playing video games, and exploring the city.

"The Husband and I went to Cancun for a summer vacation trip but didn’t want to bring our 3 year old for health reasons, and our other friends were busy with work. We went with Lily whom we knew from Columbia as my colleague’s research assistant. She’s lovely, and took good care of our daughter, even keeping the place clean. Trustworthy, sweet, honest, 10/10"

"I am so happy to write this reference for Lily, who nannied for my kids a few years ago! She was so kind and attentive to my children, and sometimes my oldest still talks about her 😄 He loves to bring up how Lily expertly put my littlest one to sleep--a feat my husband and I struggled with, since our Jamie was so fussy compared to her brother (she's a rambunctious toddler now, but still my baby 😆). Lily is great to work with, and a fun babysitter for the kids! You won't regret hiring her, trust me 😉"
