Hello! I am a social worker working full-time in a remote position for a national mental health non-profit and have many years of experience working with kiddos! I received my Bachelors Degree from Fordham University in Bronx, NY in May 2013, majoring in Psychology. In 2017 I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Newman University in Colorado Springs, CO. I have experience working with children in various settings - including schools, after-school programs and non-profits working with kids ages 2 to 18. I have been babysitting/nannying for families with kids of various ages for over ten years. I also have extensive experience as a sports coach working with kids ages 2 to 18 in soccer, basketball, and baseball/softball in classes, school teams and summer camps. I most recently coached softball, basketball and soccer at the high school junior varsity level during the 2019-2020 academic year. I can provide Read more attention on improving individual sport techniques, school/homework help, driving to/from school and activities, or simply an active and responsible adult to care for your children (and any pets you may have). I am a nonsmoker with a clean driving record, and am available for after-school and date night or weekend hours. I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and can provide proof of vaccination. References and full resume are available if requested.
