Hi everyone! I'm a college student currently finishing my bachelor's degree in Economics, with a minor in History at Hunter College. I've always enjoyed working with children, and I have several years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, as well as a background in teaching and tutoring elementary school students. I previously worked as a second-grade teaching assistant, where I helped children strengthen their reading, writing, and learning skills. I love finding fun ways to keep children engaged, whether that's reading together, doing educational activities, playing, or simply encouraging their curiosity. I'm also fluent in English, French, and Bambara, and conversational in Spanish. I enjoy introducing children to new languages and cultures through everyday activities. I'm patient, responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy helping families make their daily routines a little easier. I'm comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, naps, children's laundry, meal preparation, and keeping play areas clean and organized. I'm currently looking for a part-time position in Manhattan, preferably on East Harlem, the Upper East Side or Lower East Side. I'm available Monday through Thursday and would love to find a family I can build a great relationship with!
