About me
As the third oldest of seven kids, I have spent most of my life babysitting. I loved helping my mom out around the house and watching my little siblings smile. I started babysitting for my cousins in middle school and other families by high school. From there, I've served as a live-in nanny in Darien, CT and I currently babysit in NYC.
There is nothing I love more than fostering a child's love for a certain field, activity, sport, etc. They are so innocent and openminded. Most of the kids I have babysat are willing to try anything that I propose, so long as I put the right twist on it. I have worked with everyone from infants to teenagers and I find something to love with each age group. As a performer, I tend to have very high energy which is perfect for working with kids. I am never too tired to play a kickball game or make up a dance routine! I am a very outgoing and passionate person. I love encouraging people to step outside of their comfort zones and try new things.Additionally, I am very close with my siblings so I love to encourage positive relationships between siblings.
I feel the same warmth in my heart today when I make a kid smile that I did in third grade. I am a very loving and responsible person and treat each kid I babysit like a little sibling.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I have two very different sides to me. On one hand, I love to teach kids all about performing (singing, dancing, acting, seeing shows, etc.) I also played sports for ten years which helps with kids who aren't crazy about the arts. I am super passionate about both and love sharing my skills in either area! (or both)
