I am a learning specialist and English teacher (and aunt!) looking to babysit occasionally for families on weekend nights. I have been babysitting since age 14 and have experience with 6 month olds through high schoolers. I've worked as a teacher, tutor, camp counselor and nanny. Those positions have included teaching English, ESL and theatre, tutoring in English and SAT prep, and caring for infants and toddlers. I currently work as a Literature and Writing teacher as well as a one-on-one learning specialist for middle and high schoolers with learning disabilities. I love playing games, acting, singing, dancing, baking, playing outside, exploring- anything you are comfortable letting us do- and I am an old hand at the bedtime routine. Please send me a message if you'd like to learn more!

Elyse sat for my boys, 8 and 11 and she did a tremendous job. She was with us regularly, every Tuesday night and she was always prompt, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone trustworthy, professional and engaging.
