Sitter in Orange, New Jersey

I am happy to say I have over 6 years of experience working with children in a school setting (as a preschool teacher), in their home (tutoring, after school care, babysitting) and as an after school counselor for the YMCA. I love one on one time with the children and really enjoy getting to know their personalities and discovering what works for that child; I enjoy doing arts and craft activities, reading books, educational outings, museums and just using my imagination to create more fun with the child. The zoo is one of my favorite places to take the kids. My main goal is to keep the children safe, engaged, and having fun. I have a BA of Art degree and majored in theater arts and that has really helped me to connect with children in so many different ways. They gravitate to my sense of humor and playfulness. I am seeking a family I can grow with and be apart of. I genuinely love what I do and I believe that every child needs to be nurtured and I do that to the best of my ability. I welcome families with a creative background or with alternative lifestyles. I have experience with special needs children as well.
