Meet Ben
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I am a recent Bard College graduate living in Philadelphia, currently working part-time as a production assistant for a documentary film company that has just finished its most recent piece for the PBS NOVA series. I discovered my passion for working with children through my experience as a camp counselor each summer during college. I've worked with kids of all ages and am competent with both small and large groups. In addition, one of my greatest strengths is working with children with special needs, both one-on-one and in group settings. My other passion is art and music, both of which I have notable experience in teaching. I am a huge supporter of arts education, and I believe that artistic expression is essential for every child. Lastly, I am a Red Cross certified babysitter, and am well versed with childcare and safety. Hoping to hear from you! Ben
