My first job in high school was at Kumon, where I tutored children one-on-one. I was exception at that job, and was assigned to work with children with disabilities. I babysat three different families in high school, all with multiple children. I went to Temple University where I studied Economics, studied abroad in Tokyo Japan, was President of Art Club, and took on an internship at the Municipality of Cuenca in Cuenca, Ecuador. I now work as a Consultant and am looking to spend my free time more wisely, and make some extra money. I am a daughter to an Art Teacher and have always been passionate about painting, sculpting, and being expressive. I prefer to spend time off screen, playing a board game, reading, being outside. I am very easy going and can get along with many different people. I have a lot of energy and genuinely feel happy to be helpful to others. I speak Russian and have experience helping my family members with administrative tasks due to a language barrier. I am empathetic to other people that struggle with certain things, or might need extra help to get something done. Someone would describe me as a friendly, positive, helpful, empathetic, nature-loving person.
About me: Hi! I am a college student who is great with kids and has over 8 years of babysitting/ nannying experience. I am looking to continue working with kids while earning money for my education! I love to cook, watch movies and play board games! I am fully vaccinated and boosted and excited for an opportunity to work with great kids! I have my own car and am comfortable with cooking and cleaning. I know the Austin, San Marcos, and Kyle area well and am willing to drive! I'd describe my personality as comedic, upbeat, and thoughtful. I like working with kids because they teach you things about yourself that you never would've known were there. Kids are extremely intelligent, and we can learn so much from them! I'm looking for a job that respects my interests and I can learn from!
