Hi! My name is Andrea and I would be happy to help you care for your children. I am 27 years old and a current university student at Baruch College studying business with a flexible schedule. My experience with children begins from 2[removed] working with a 14 month old, and two brothers ages 6 and 9 throughout the years. I have also worked as a Teacher's Assistant for after school religion classes, and tutored children from low-income groups. Working with your child or children would be a great opportunity for me. I would be able to provide my recent reference to further support my qualifications. Hope to hear from you!

Hello, my name is Iva; I am a 25-year-old NYU student (History/Econ Major), born in Zagreb, Croatia, and my favorite color is blue.

Areas of homework help I am most comfortable with are History and English.
