I am enthusiastic, patient, caring, and fun, and truly passionate about working with kids. My experience is as follows: I've been babysitting/nannying for five years, and I've worked as a preschool assistant teacher for the past three. I’m studying Childhood Education at Columbia University, so I am well-versed in developmentally appropriate sensory play for babies and toddlers, and always make my time with little ones educational and stimulatory as well as fun. I employ a Montessori, child-led philosophy, and I believe in keeping screen time to a minimum and encouraging active learning through play. I am also fingerprinted with the DOE and the DOH, and have taken courses in child development and safety.
