About Leena

Hello there, my name is Leena! I have experience working with youth as a babysitter for the past 8 years. With three younger siblings and an ever-growing number of small cousins I have learned how to dissolve conflicts and teach new games and activities while ensuring the well being of all those involved. I'm motivated to get kids outside to explore and love creating art projects. I have spent 5 months teaching a weekly class to 7 homeschoolers. I taught kids age 7-15 a variety of subjects including art, ethics, writing, and biology. This included digital classes as the COVID-19 pandemic spread and people remained in quarantine. My interest is further illustrated through my time as a part-time educator with the Bird Conservancy of The Rockies where I use my biology degree to encourage curiosity. I love motivating kids to think about things creatively!
