In recent years, my work with a local art studio has brought me to elementary school locations to teach larger classes of 30 or more. At the studio itself, I was in charge of teaching, assisting, caring for and cleaning up after students.

Hello!

Hi! My name is Alisa. I’ve worked with teens and toddlers. My experience with kids has very complex but also an eye-opening experience.

I used to work at a summer camp every summer with teens 12-14. I came up with activities for them to complete, help them build new team-work skills, and helped them be more engaged. I also used to work with kids with autism from the ages of 3-6 as a BT. This took a lot of patience , and I had to learn what every kids needs are and helped them with what they needed.
