About me
Having grown up in Austin, TX, I have been babysitting since I was barely older than a baby myself! At twelve, I volunteered as a Teacher’s Assistant at a Musical Theatre day camp and had such a great time with the kids, I became the date-night sitter for a few of the students! When I was fourteen and went to performing arts boarding school in Massachusetts, my favorite activity was babysitting for the children of the teachers’ who lived in the dorm.
I am a recent graduate from the Fordham University Theater Program at Lincoln Center. My dancing, singing, acting, and improv background have proven time and time again to be a big hit with the kids I sit for; my favorite theater games are explosion tag and vegetable dance party!
I've lived in New York City for the past four years and have been lucky enough to sit for a variety of wonderful families. Aside from babysitting experience, I also worked at Apple Seeds Day Care Center in 2017. I taught cooking, art, and sports to smart, creative, and hardworking kids from the ages of 0 to 5 at both the Upper West Side and Chelsea locations.
I'm experienced in all age ranges from infants to teenagers and am always excited to meet a new family!
I have professional child care experience with...
- Infants
- Toddlers
- Preschoolers
- School-aged (K-5)
- Preteen
- Teenagers
In 5 years, I hope to be...
Working as a professional actor. Although I hope to transition more into professional acting work over the next 5-10 years, I always want nannying and child care to remain a part of my life!
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
Acting and improv, dance, singing, yoga, creative writing. A lot of the kids I sit for introduce me to fun new board games!
