Griffin F.

I am currently a Master’s candidate at the Boston College School of Social Work. I live in Beacon Hill with my girlfriend and my dog.

I have very little formal experience as a babysitter, but quite a bit of experience in teaching roles. Upon graduating from Boston University in 2010, I began to work for a wilderness therapy program in Southwest Utah. I quickly became a Senior Field Instructor. I was responsible for the wellbeing of not only 8-12 at-risk adolescents, but also the rest of my Staff team. I was responsible for physical health and well-being (in a wilderness environment, with snow and heat and rattlesnakes, working at home is easy!), as well as executing the treatment plan devised by the therapist for each student. During this process I gained applicable skills, such as coaching executive functioning and assertive communication.

My next job was much the same, but more long-term (and based inside) in Costa Rica. Entonces, ya yo hablo espaol tambien! Entonces, si hay algunos padres afuera que se buscan un niero bilinge, yo soy su hombre!

I have also had experience in a classroom setting as a substitute teacher for 2nd through 11th grades.

Upon my return to Massachusetts, I applied to graduate schools, and seized an opportunity to travel to Kenya, where first I worked with a program focused on rehabilitation for Street Children, and then acted as a course assistant for 20 students participating in a Harvard Summer School program.

Currently, I am working an internship on Human Trafficking, attending classes, and tutoring occasionally. I have availability most evenings.

I can offer particular support in homework help, cooking, cleaning, and finding activities to pass the time. Please contact me with any questions!
