Alessandra H.

I babysat successfully in my teens, and was quite in demand. I’ve worked as a tutor since 1999, with all ages of kids. I’ve spent over five years at two of the cities most selective agencies, including the one I work with now.

I hold a graduate degree from Columbia, but it’s not in education. I have a great deal of experience with kids who struggle with various learning differences, including kids who are very strong in some areas but not in others. I know a fair amount about reluctant readers, early readers, and language acquisition. My favorite part of my job is picking out children’s books. I have some experience with infants. I am the aunt to a very tall teenage boy (now past the stage of needing a sitter). I get along famously with most pets. I don’t smoke. I am a good cook, and a former picky eater.

I’ve recently been looking for work that I can fit around my tutoring business. A woman I know was talking about how easy it was to sign up for Sitter City, and I thought, “Oh: right.”

My availability is subject to change, so please get in touch even if it looks as though I have a conflict.
