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.
