Meet Shira

I am currently in my first year of a dual degree Masters in Social Work and Masters in Public Health program at Columbia University. I am a fun loving and caring 25 year -old originally from the Washington D.C. area. I love to play sports, do art projects and read books, and have plethora experience working with children of all ages. I have twin cousins who I have been babysitting for since their birth and they are now almost 11. I have spent a few summers nannying part-time and I have extensive experience working with children with developmental disabilities. I have also been a camp counselor, have taught hebrew school and am currently doing my field placement at a middle school/high school in the Bronx. When I was a teenager I took a babysitting course and have taken CPR and first-aid courses as well. I am comfortable cooking basic meals Read more as well as taking kids on the subway.
