I enjoy engaging with the natural curiosity of children — the exploration and discovery of plants, bugs, animals, the solar system, geography, and history. The library, the Rawlings Conservatory, the Museum of Industry, Fort Lee park, and of course playgrounds are typical destinations. I also love to read stories, listen to (or play) music, and make art with kids. I have been helping take care of my friend's autistic child for the last several years, as well as his younger brother. My demeanor is generally calm and gentle, which works well with kids who struggle with overstimulation. I also love animals and am very good with cats especially. I'm a non-smoker with a reliable car and a very good driving record. Right now I am a part-time student at Towson University, working towards a BFA in Illustration. I otherwise freelance as a graphic designer/layout artist. I should mention also that Read more my current availability is up to 25 hours per week, preferably broken up into 5-hour shifts — so, after-school care or date-night sits might be the best fit for me.
