My name is Meitav and I have been working in child care for over 13 years! What started out as being a mother's helper to people in my community when I was 12 slowly graduated to nanny and babysitting gigs that I've done with families with various ages and needs up until today. I was a preschool teacher for 3 years for ages 4 and 5 and worked for 4 years as an after school teacher to K-1 students. I also worked as a Hebrew and English tutor for 3 years to kids ranging from kindergarten to 7th grade. I have worked with ages 5 months to 13 years old. I have experience working with kids with special needs and in houses with food allergies and kashrut laws. I can cook, bake, and clean, and while I do not have a car, I do have a license and am also comfortable transporting kids via the MTA! I studied painting in college and specialize in creating fun and engaging activities for kids of all ages that include the arts and other creative forms of expression. Please reach out!
Meitav has been working with our family for over 6 months. She started off sitting for our 11 year old and has transitioned to tutoring during the school year. While she was sitting, Maitav was reliable, engaging and communicative. She asked great questions during the interview and planned activities related to what she had learned about our child’s interests. She is now working with us once a week tutoring. Her lesson plans have been very thoughtful and most importantly to our child, “not boring”. Our child has ADHD and Meitav has shown patience and creativity in getting them to refocus their energy into learning while she is there. She has been able to work with our schedule and lets us know in advance if there will be any changes. We are very happy with Meitav and highly recommend her.
