Hi Parents! My name is Ally. I am a current freshman at the University of Pennsylvania studying psychology -- I want to go to medical school and help children! As for my childcare experience, I have spent 6 years working as the head camp counselor at Torresdale Summer Camp. Annually, I care for 20+ kids, ages between 3 and 13! We do activities like crafts, sports, and reading, so I have experience in all of those areas, too. Though I did not care for infants at my job, I do have personal experience with babysitting them. I have also worked at a school for autism, so I do have experience with special needs children. I also love tutoring and teaching kids new skills, ranging from educational to athletic ones. While I have been a proficient student for all my life, I have also been an athlete, playing basketball, softball, soccer, Read more and mainly, lacrosse! I would love to share my passions with your children. I am listed as a babysitter but I am open to nannying, pet sitting, and any other types of care you might need.
