Hello and thank you for reviewing my profile! :) With over ten years of experience working with children of all ages, I am eager to share my passions for culture, research, and creativity with your family. Born and bred in New York, I first attended The Brearley School before transferring to Middlesex, a boarding school in Massachusetts, and then attending Barnard College on the Upper West Side. Post-grad for nearly three years, I have been spending my recent time building a tech startup revolving around family archives but have been greatly missing the ceaseless joy that working with children previously brought into my life. Through my experiences as a youth sailing instructor, ESL aide, tutor, babysitter, and live-in nanny, I have learned that learning styles vary and am always researching new techniques to accommodate these exciting new minds. A life-long-lover of mindfulness and art therapy, I find that philosophical banter Read more over crafts often serves as a good (and goofy!) ice-breaker with my new crew :) I start each journey with a family by first sitting down with the parents and addressing their households needs. Ideal scenarios would allow me a week of silent observation before working with you to create a game-plan and talk over the research-backed methods I've drawn that I think will work best with your family. While at Barnard, I supplemented my art theory degree with a specialized research thesis on the dietary and environmental remedies for Oppositional Defiant Disorder and continue to passionately work with special needs and behaviorally-adapted children. I additionally provide the following academic support in French, Art & World History, English, Elementary Math, and Application Preparation for School Transfer and College. Whether you need a tutor, behavioral coach, or simply a date-night babysitter; you can guarantee that I will lead each session with a holistic mindset -- looking into diet, routine, organization, communication, and mindfulness techniques that will best suit your home. I know that was a lot so please know my phone is always available for any questions! I look forward to hearing from you :)
