About Naomi

Hi! My name is Naomi and I graduated from Hamilton College this past spring. I majored in Psychology and minored in Sociology and Mathematics. I am home for the summer and will be assistant teaching 2nd grade and getting my masters from Columbia's School of Social Work starting this fall! I'd describe my personality as warm, empathetic, and curious. I love working with kids because they see the world in a way that adults usually don't. They have an enthusiasm about life and are never scared to think outside the box - it's inspiring! I started working with kids when I began babysitting for family friends when I was in 8th grade (13 years old). I love to go for runs and walks outside, go hiking, biking, and camping, read books, and cook/bake new recipes! One thing you should know about me is I am a fast and eager learner and that I want to go into teaching or counseling/therapy. My skills include patience, encouragement, enthusiasm, and empathetic approaches! :)
