About me

Hello! I'm an actress who loves her day job. Originally from Washington, DC I went to an international school and grew up speaking Spanish which nurtured my love of travel-- I've even circumnavigated with Semester at Sea! I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I studied Drama and desire to pursue acting brought me back to this great city in 2015.

I was introduced (very informally) into babysitting by being an big sister-- my younger sister is 6 years my junior, so I was always in charge of her and her friends when they came over. I also have three half-siblings with an even greater gap than that, and when they were all under the age of five visiting my Dad meant helping out with the kids, which I loved to do. They especially needed extra hands with my little brother, who is autistic. As an artist, I love to use my creative side when I'm babysitting; whether it be arts and crafts, creating forts with Magna-Tiles, building block towers for babies to knock down, excavating fossils, goofing off, dancing around or putting on funny accents.

I've worked professionally with children from 3 months - 14 years old, including three children under six, twins, triplets, newborns and kids with special needs. I even have experience traveling internationally with families. I also worked group events at SoHo House and The River Club. From school pick-up/activity drop-off to homework help to navigating Istanbul with a 5 year old and a 5 month old, I feel like I've done it all.

I'm big on children cleaning up their mess. And I love to create this origami snapper shark piece that I learned in the 5th grade that I somehow still remember how to make
