About me
Hi! I was lucky to grow up in a very family-oriented neighborhood in Atlanta, GA where I met and connected with many families for babysitting. My parents instilled in me the spirit of entrepreneurship young, and I had many jobs throughout middle school and high school. I hosted lemonade stands, was a lifeguard, worked for an ice cream shop and had a prolific babysitting career - starting out as a mother's helper at age 13. I became passionate about working with kids and found that I really enjoyed helping families and parents enjoy some much needed time to themselves and to enjoy a day or night out.
Throughout my 11 years as a babysitter/mother's helper, I have learned a lot about myself, children, and childcare. I genuinely enjoy connecting with families and consider many of my clients to be close friends and mentors.
I have worked with children of all ages and in all stages of development, including children with disabilities. I can easily switch between changing diapers to teaching leadership skills. I am flexible to the environment and needs of different families, and I value creating a safe and fun atmosphere where kids can learn and be themselves. In my professional life, I am an executive assistant so I am detail-oriented and anticipatory of needs. I am no stranger to menial tasks and am always happy to run errands, help organize, clean, cook. I have done all of this and more for my clients.
Outside of babysitting, I have a passion for the environment, good writing, vibrant cities, spontaneous dance parties, volunteering, and I've never met a falafel I didn't like. I hope to meet you soon!
