I am a 28 year-old Brooklynite. By day, I teach in a public school in New York City's Department of Education. I am a special needs teacher, teaching children 8 - 11 years old. I have experience working with and caring for children as young as newborn to as old as 21. Above all, your child's safety is my main concern. For the last 10 years, I have also taught swimming lessons to children 6 months - 12 years, tutored 5th grade and up, and have been a caretaker for children of diverse backgrounds.
