My name is James Allison-Booth and I am the Director of Children, Youth, and Families Ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn. I am a music and drama teacher for the Summer Program at The American School in Switzerland, where my wife also works. These roles have seen me work with many children with ages ranging from 4 - 17. As a teenager I ran the youth program at a church in England, and have collected a large amount of babysitting experience both in Europe and in the United States. As a straight-A student in the UK I focused on Mathematics, English Literature, Music, and Latin before going on to study Music at King's College London, graduating in 2011. I play the Piano, the Bassoon, Tuned Percussion, and the Drums. After college I worked as a musician - touring Europe with different groups - before meeting my (now) wife in Read more Switzerland and deciding to move to the United States. I am also an excellent amateur cook and have worked with Chef Thomas Keller, including training in "The Art of Service", and I have two qualifications in Oenology. I received CPR and AED training in 2014.
