Activity summary
24 year old artist interested in childcare
I was born in Park Slope, but grew up in a small town on Long Island until college, where I moved back to NYC. Pursued a dual degree, my attitude was to cram in as much learning as I could while I was in school. Since graduating in 2024, I've had different service jobs but find it hard to balance my need to create in spite of that. I know working with kids in the past has filled my cup, so I look forward to creating these connections again! My childcare experience spans across coaching sports, volunteering at the library for childcare programs, as well as in home babysitting for neighbors & family friends. When I was younger, I played softball and volleyball for many years. In which I garnered experience coaching, and began coaching teams of (elementary to middle school) girls for volleyball, as well as 1on1 sessions for softball. In high school, I would volunteer at an afterschool daycare programs at my local library, and read books, as well as lead crafts to groups of children varying from ages 2-10. In my adulthood, I have in-house babysat multiple times, typically in the evening, for kids as young as 3-8.
