Meet Jake

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

After graduating from college at Webster University (2013 BFA in Acting), I returned to Missouri to save money for a year to move to New York. While at home, I worked as a substitute teacher for elementary level all the way up to high school. I have no certification, but I have some experience watching and caring for children. I oversaw a room full of kids during some theatre performances at my high school (for the kids too little to sit through a play or musical without squirming) and I also helped look after the younger children at a book fair (my mother was a librarian). I like kids and most kids like me. I'm a good storyteller and love to read aloud. I prefer children 6 and up, but I can certainly take care of younger.
