About me

Connecting with children brings me a great sense of purpose and joy. I am very enthusiastic in guiding and helping kids learn about the world. I create a safe and secure environment that still allows kids the freedom to play, make discoveries, and develop problem-solving skills. Being able to positively contribute to a child’s growth is incredibly rewarding.

I am highly artistic and passionate about acting. I enjoy sharing my love for storytelling with kids. I often engage in creative, fun activities that stimulate self-expression, from dancing to writing poems. It is vital to nurture the boundless imaginations that children possess. Developing the imagination is key to paving the way for healthy social, emotional, and intellectual growth. I embrace their curiosity and fresh ways of approaching the world. Children constantly inspire me to stay present and be open to learning.

I have worked with numerous families and have experience babysitting/nannying a variety of ages, from babies to teenagers. I worked occasional babysitting jobs throughout middle school and high school. In my senior year of high school, I worked as a mother’s helper, watching the baby while the mother engaged in other tasks. In college, I worked as a teacher’s assistant at a summer school in Maryland. There I assisted with instruction of Art and English classes, tutored students in reading and writing, graded assignments, and ran a study hall period. I worked with 6th graders, 7th graders, and kindergarteners. Since April 2018, I have worked as a part-time nanny for a 4 year old boy. I sometimes babysit his 7 month old brother as well. Since graduating college, I have worked other occasional but frequent babysitting jobs. I often babysit a 4 year old girl, doing after-school pick-up, morning-drop off, full days, and date nights. My other main client is a family with two boys, ages 7 and 10. I do after-school pick up and transporting to activities.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active outdoors, reading, and photography. I have lived in New York for seven years and embrace its vast culture. I love exploring museums, parks, restaurants, and theatre.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...

I love to come up with stories and engage in age-appropriate improvisational games. Using elements from my background in theatre is a great tool when working with kids. I have a silly sense of humor and an animated personality, and I love playing off of their energy.
