I am a recent graduate of Boston College with a dual degree in Education and English, and I absolutely adore working with children of all ages. I currently work a part-time position at LifeTime Fitness's Kids Academy, a childcare center for children ages 3 months to 11 years. Other positions have included teaching Writing and Robotics at the Choate Rosemary Hall School (ranked by Business Insider as one of the top 10 schools in the US), teaching a Creative Writing course at Yale, and teaching 10th and 11th grade English at a private high school in Boston. As an educator, tutor, and experienced babysitter, I have had experience mentoring and babysitting students from infancy to the age of 18. I am very creative, as I have both a musically oriented and literary oriented brain. I have studied piano and classical voice from a young age, and love playing music and Read more creating art with the little ones I work with! I also love visiting the library, completing art projects, and other hands-on activities. I do have a car, so transportation is no issue. I love all animals, so working with families with pets is an added bonus.
