Hi! I'm a current undergrad studying biology and working in a research lab. I have previous experience with toddlers-teenagers as a former Kumon employee. Also, I have personal experience caring for my 4 nieces and three nephews! I’m very patient, punctual, communicative, and I can easily adapt to different household schedules, rules, and values! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm also fun to be around! I love being outdoors, being creative, playing games, cooking, and finding new hobbies. Regarding pets, I've fostered and/or adopted many cats throughout my life and I have some experience with dogs. These are the main points I'd like to advertise about myself: 1. I have experience with children of all ages. 2. I'm dependable, respectful, and organized. 3. I have tutoring experience. 4. I'm willing to learn new things and adapt to other's lifestyles.

She was on time, nice, very considerate ,understanding, negotiable,and she had great energy ! This was only the interview! I can’t wait to see how this goes!
