- Speaks English, French, and Korean
- Comfortable with pets
I am a recent Cornell University graduate living in downtown Manhattan. I am looking to babysit on weekends or weekday evenings. I was raised speaking Korean and studied French for 10 years. I have cared for children, from newborn to age 13 in multi-lingual households since high school. I've worked with special needs children ages 4-18 and have experience managing physical and developmental disabilities. I've been the primary caretaker for an autistic girl throughout her pre-K & elementary school years. Though I currently work in fashion during the week (with flexible hours), I hope to get more involved in working with children and adolescents in the city. I'm looking to pursue art/dance/yoga therapy focused on children in the future. My hobbies include dance, yoga, drawing/painting, and reading, and I can bring many engaging, educational, and creative activities. When it comes to children, I take both play and responsibility seriously. I Read more look forward to working with you!
