Hi families! My name is Isabella, and I’m a lifelong New Yorker. I’m 22 years old and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from St. John’s University. I’m currently continuing my education in the Speech Pathology Master’s program at St. John’s and also work as a substitute teacher. I’ve worked with children of all ages and love supporting their growth while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
My name is Frankie, and I’m a rising sophomore at NYU studying Vocal Performance! I have prior experience babysitting, but mostly, due to COVID-19, I would support parents working from home and watching over their children so they could get work done in the home. I have worked with children aged 2 to 17 as a volunteer at my hometown’s library, a volunteer for a musical theatre summer camp for children, and as an employee at Albright College's Total Experience Learning Summer Program. Additionally, I planned art and music-based programming and events for toddlers and elementary-aged children while I was in high school because I was the President of National Art Honor Society, President of Drama Club, and a prominent member of my school’s music program.
I’m extremely passionate about children’s education and programming, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from New York for work.
