Meet Allison

  • Speaks German and Spanish
  • Comfortable with pets

I am a former professor at NYU and professional writer looking to find casual to permanent work as a sitter while I finish my novel. I grew up in a large family and have always bonded with children––even in adulthood––due to a highly active imagination. For the past two years I have not only worked teaching poetry to disabled youth, but taught creative writing at NYU, frequently meeting one-on-one with my undergraduate students to offer them general advice and nourish personal mentor-mentee relationships. I have a valid driver's license and have lived in the city for over four years. In caring for your children, I would treat them as my own precious and early students in life. I would take them to activities, offer homework help, and try to incorporate learning into every aspect of our time together. I own a dog and would be delighted to walk the family Read more pet, if needed. I also offer my professional tutoring services to be discussed on a case by case basis. I look forward to meeting your family!
