Selena $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Selena a first grade teacher who was born and raised in San Antonio. I’ve been working in the education sector for the past 6 years in South America and here in the United States. I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn through play, find their joy with reading and to allow their inner brilliance to shine through various creative crafts. I received my bachelors in Childhood and Special Education from NYU and my Masters in Responsible Management and Development from the University of Peace in Costa Rica. As a result of my 4 years in South America, I speak conversational Spanish and would love to continue practicing. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and am apart of the Girl Scout Alum San Antonio chapter. I look forward to meeting your little ones and being a support to your family!

I am kind, gentle, caring, and prioritize their safety above anything. I have had various jobs involving children such as being a camp counselor in the summers, being employed as a children’s gymnastics coach and a life guard, as well as babysitting since I was 14 years old. I have worked with boys and girls aging from infants - middle schoolers. I am certified in CPR, first aid, and child care. I have a drivers license and car, and also will cook and clean as needed. My goal is to keep children happy, safe, and entertained, while providing extra help a family may need!
