To our returning families welcome back and to our new family welcome! As the school year rapidly approaches we wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the staff that will be working with your children. This year the staff consist of a lot of new faces. However, rest assured that all staff are very passionate and dedicated to providing your children with a safe place to grow, develop, and most importantly have fun!
Mariposa Kids 2015-2016 Staff:
Scott Naab
Director
I am orignally from Chelsea, MI. I have dedicated the seven years since graduating high school to gaining as much experience as possible working with youth. This journey has taken me across the country and abroad, working with a variety of organizations and youth of all ages. I recently graduated from University of California, Davis with a BS in Human Development. My goal as the director of Mariposa Kids is to cultivate a community environment and encourage the holistic development of each participant.

Hello, my name is DJ. I am originally from Bristol, CT, but have been living in San Francisco for the last five years. I am currently enrolled at San Francisco State University as an English-Education major. After graduating from SFSU I plan to get my teaching credential and go on to become an English teacher. Before I started at Mariposa Kids, all my experience working with kids came from volunteer tutoring in Middle and High Schools all over San Francisco. I have really enjoyed the shift from this older age group to that of the elementary school level. This transition has provided me with a new and exciting challenge. In my free time I like to read, cook, and ride my skateboard. I am very excited to have this opportunity to be working with your children, and am looking forward to a fun and productive year.

Recreation Leader
I was born and raised in Bristol, CT, I moved to San Francisco April 2014 . I originally started working as a youth volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club in my hometown, which turned into full time employment after graduating from High School. My title was the Arts and Crafts Coordinator, along with after school homework help. I then transitioned to Whiz Kids Learning Center where I was a pre-school teacher for three years. Upon moving to San Francisco I have been a personal nanny for two wonderful families. I love to hike, bike, play tennis, basically being outside! I am very excited to start working with Mariposa Kids. I hope to bring out the creativity in all of our participants.
