With a wide range of childcare experience, an easy-going and fun-loving spirit, and a dedicated work ethic, I am looking forward to meeting you and your family! I'm currently a bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist, working in a preschool with ages 2-5. I have spent the last few years working as an au pair and English Teacher in Madrid, Spain (and before that, I was working as an English instructor in Northern Italy!) and now I’m living in Lakeview East. My additional experiences with children include my work as a lifeguard and swim teacher at an outdoor pool in the summers, and my job as a camp counselor for children with disabilities. In these positions, as well as through teaching and speech pathology, I’ve learned incredibly important skills and values: patience, care, inclusiveness, creativity and most importantly, responsibility for the children I was teaching and looking after. I have lots of experience Read more with infants and toddlers, and I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities of caring for young children. I am looking for a part-time position or occasional evening/weekend babysitting. Please let me know if you have any questions!
