About Ilana
Experience: 6 yrs
Hi! My name is Ilana and I just graduated from SUNY New Paltz with a major in Early Childhood/ Childhood Education and a concentration in English. I have my NYS Initial Teaching Certificate (Birth - 6 grade). In the fall, I will begin earning my Master's Degree, part-time in Special Education at Queens College. I have about 5 years of experience working in childcare. I have worked at summer camps for 6 summers. From September 2021- January 2023, I worked at a day care center in New Paltz. I also student taught in a sixth grade classroom and in a second grade classroom. I want to be a teacher because I enjoy reading to kids and helping them learn more about the world. I like reading, walking and enjoying the outdoors. I am looking for a nanny/ babysitting position for this summer to gain more experience creating fun games and activities for children to learn and have fun! I would be happy to discuss my qualifications with you in detail and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Ilana babysat for us over the summer of 2021. We loved her, and so did our 18 month old son. She took him on long walks, ran around outside, read books endlessly and did a lot of rainy day puzzles. Hopefully we'll work with her again!
