About Natalia

I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Special Education. Having worked with children for more than 20 years and having raised my own children, I believe that these things are essential in the upbringing of healthy, intelligent, empathetic, and creative children: Nature walks/hikes/-- walking, running, climbing (gross motor skills and future success in math) Free play with peers--the child's mind is as developed and complex as the imaginative worlds they create. Listening to classic music and reading vocabulary-rich books (cognitive development, speech development, love for books and music, increased attention span, no screen dependence). Creative hands-on activities, sensory games (developing small motor skills, hand-eye coordination). Introducing a second/third language early. I am adept at providing all that for your kids, including Russian immersion/reading/writing lessons. I am looking for only 10-20 hours of work per week for the entire school year.
