About Talia

My childcare experience began as a babysitter and nanny during my college years. That soon evolved into an interest in teaching. I have worked in childcare at a daycare, as a preschool teaching assistant, teaching acting to school aged children, directing children's theater, and at an independent school as an afterschool teacher. I enjoy working with kids because I am fascinated by their perspective of the world. It is such a fulfilling experience to be trusted by a child and allowed to be by their side as they discover life. I also value engaging with children in a creative way that encourages imaginative play and storytelling. In my spare time I love to read! I visit the library often and enjoy reading about upcoming books in the NYT Book Review. I'm currently reading: Dubliners by James Joyce, All Aunt Hagar's Children by Edward P. Jones, The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson, and Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith.
