I love to spend time with children, helping them laugh, learn and stay active. I have a bachelor's degree in Studio Art and love to use my background in art to encourage fun and learning. I am trustworthy, organized, responsible and energetic! I love to have a good time and try to find new ways to combine work and play everyday to keep life interesting!
I have always loved animals and nature, so spending time outdoors exploring and understanding my environment is a passion of mine that I would like to share with inquisitive children. I have also always been very involved in sports, particularly gymnastics, in which I competed for 10 years and coached for 4 years. I also have experience playing soccer, volleyball, horseback riding, swimming, skiing/snowboarding, and I love to run and ride bikes. As an art major, I have spent many years painting, drawing, and sculpting. I hope I can use these skills to encourage creativity in your children! I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes in the kitchen and I would have no problem preparing meals should you require it. In addition, I try to keep myself organized and I don't mind general clean up/housework. Also love music and played the piano for 15 years. And last, but surely not least, I absolutely adore children! Helping a child learn and grow is truly one of the most rewarding parts of looking after them. I have had a lot of experience working with kids of all ages- as a gymnastics coach, summer camp counselor, babysitter, mother's helper, and tutor... and I've loved every moment of it!
I am a native English speaker, I speak Spanish and Italian well, and I have basic knowledge of French and German.
I have considerable experience and would be willing to provide references upon request.
