About me

I grew up in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona, the middle child of a blended family. I fell in love with singing, dancing, and gymnastics and spent my childhood enjoying these activities. I went on to study Musical Theater in Philadelphia at the University of the Arts and received my Bachelor’s in Fine Arts. After college I worked as an actor around the country and then began studying yoga. I went to India and Nepal and became certified to teach and have since taught in NYC, Ghana, and Ecuador. I teach privately in the city now.

Being the middle child of seven children, I was brought up by my siblings, and helped raised my younger ones. I spent my high school years babysitting neighborhood children (pre-k - 6th grade). I spent summers teaching theater camps at local art centers (children ages 5 - 14). I spent summers of my college years performing at a resort in Maine, I would help run the afternoon childcare program, (20 children, ages 5 - 18). I also spent those summers privately babysitting infants and toddlers. After high school, I had a consistent after school babysitting job with a family of two girls ages 4 and 7.

While in New York, I have been an after-school babysitter for a 4 year old pre-k boy. This job included picking him up from school, providing a snack, providing entertainment, helping him nap, and taking him to any appointments. I also have babysat for a family with a 2 year old boy and 7 year old girl. I travelled with this family for ten days to Croatia and Montenegro and was on call 24/7 for any help the family needed while on the trip.

Since 2018, I have worked as a SmartSitter for a few families in and around the city. I’ve travelled upstate and stayed in home with a family for a few weeks to help out. I’ve also worked beside a stay at home mom, helping with her two children. My most recent family was a full time position with two children in two separate homes. I would travel with the children between both homes and provide care from morning into the night. Duties for these roles included making breakfast, getting ready for school, school drop off/pick up, house cleaning, playtime, homework help, dinner making, and helping with bed time.
