Hello my name is Hailey, I am 20 years old and a senior at the Parsons School of Design pursuing a BFA. I am currently employed as a camp counselor for ages 6-16 at Camp Fitch YMCA. My intention is to use my degree to be an elementary school art teacher. I am looking for more experience with kids, I love kids and doing arts and crafts and playing outside with them. I also love all animals and have been taking care of them and surrounded by them my entire life!

Hailey was so kind, patient, and engaged with our 10 month old for a full day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
