About Zoe

I currently teach third grade at a charter school in BK. I hold a BFA in Dance and an MA in Dance Education. I have worked as a babysitter for 10 years, and a nanny for 5 years. I am a very high energy person in general and am a big believer that children need to be feeding their minds constantly. I'm a hands on caregiver and love taking the kids to the park to run around and play games. For days when it's too cold or raining, I have a plethora of games/activities to spark imagination and redirect focus and happiness. I use responsive teaching in my classroom and believe that most upsets can be gently redirected and focused to build better communication skills and desired behavior. I love to make dinner with the kids. I have found this is really helpful when it comes to more picky eats. We'll make it a game or or turn that yucky broccoli and chicken into magic forest that is eaten by giants. Bath time is also a good time to make bubble beards or make up wild stories about dragons.
