Families appreciate that I bring the calm, reliability, and professionalism of a classroom setting into their home.

Rivkah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rivkah, and I work as an assistant teacher at CTA. I am currently studying forensic psychology and am deeply passionate about the field of psychology. I take pride in my skills, which I believe will enable me to understand and effectively work with children. I am certified in BLS and have received training in adult, child, and infant emergency care. I work with students aged 3-4, but I have been involved in childcare for various ages since I was 12. I love and am great with all animals, although I am best when it comes to dogs. I am currently on summer break and available to assist with any needs you may have. While I am comfortable with a wide range of services, I excel particularly with younger kids. As a teacher, one of my main responsibilities is to create projects that help children develop their skills and learn to express themselves. My work has provided me with extensive experience in meeting the unique needs of each child and finding what works best for them. I hope I can be of assistance! :)
