I am originally from New York. I come to France  my first  time  during my university studies, I was Philosophy and French major.  And fell  in love with the city. During my studies I worked both as an English teacher, to adults and as a babysitter with children.
My studies in Philosophy lead my to the question of the Philosophy of Education  As I worked as a babysitter during my studies.  I  focused my attention towards educating children and the question of the acquisition of language skills.
My work as a babysitter helped because as I was able to work one on one with children and learn more about  their developed academically, socially, mentally and physically.  In addition I worked with young babies in Creche developing language program to help them  to become bilingual. I continued  my work with children, moving to a Montessori school where the goal was  encouraging creative and independent thinking in children as well as developing positive discipline.
