Hello! My Name is Zoë Jane and I am a college student in my final year of study double majoring in Art Education and Cinema at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. I have a background in and passion for child care and education and plan to teach elementary art and pursue film making on the side. This would be my second time au pairing.

My experience working with kids outside of au paring began with babysitting my sister, cousins, and the children of my parents' friends. I still babysit to this day. My first job at fourteen was as a painting class assistant, it was my first experience with teaching kids art and it was super fun. My first year of college I worked as an art teacher with preschool children, my students were two and three years old and they were adorable. I was also an art teacher at a summer program where my students were between four and fourteen years old which was a very valuable experience. This was a program for all kids, including ones with disabilities. I also worked at an afterschool program with children four to twelve years old. I brought art lessons into the program but I also helped with homework, played games, and hung out with the kids until their parents could pick them up. I currently work at an after school program for autistic children as an art teacher and volunteer at my college's youth art program.

Because I work in schools and programs with kids I have my First Aid and CPR certification and I have passed the department of early education and childcare (EEC) background check. I can send you these certifications if need be.
