About me

Hi! My name is Fiona and I grew up in the suburbs of northern New Jersey. My younger sister Anna and I spent our childhood riding bikes, playing make-believe games in our backyard, getting our friends together for neighborhood baseball games, and visiting England, where our mother is from. Years later in 2013 I traveled to India where I spent three months with a group of students exploring different cities, learning about the cultures and religions of the country, and living with a local host family. The trip inspired me to major in Asian Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. My studies allowed me to visit India again in 2017 where I spent the summer teaching English and math at a school for women and girls. After receiving my Bachelors Degree in August of 2018, I moved back to New Jersey from Colorado and have since worked for two families as a nanny and for a small travel startup in Brooklyn.

I have been in childcare for nine years and have worked as a nanny for seven. My roles have ranged from birthday chaperone to teacher to nanny-who-lets-you-paint-on-her-arms! I’ve worked with many families whose children's ages have ranged from 3 months to preteens. I have cared for children with special needs and am comfortable looking after multiple children at a time. I am CPR certified and an intermediate level Hindi speaker. I understand that nannies wear many hats and have no problem with tasks such as laundry, tidying the house, helping to toilet train, and pet care. I have always been passionate about impacting a child’s development in a positive and creative way, and being a nanny allows me to do that. I value open communication with the families I work for and am always eager to connect with them and their children.

As well as being a nanny, I enjoy music and art, both of which I love to share with the children I care for. I often sing to them and encourage them to create and express themselves, whether that be by finger-painting, playing their favorite sport, and anything in between. My love for travel gave me the chance to teach classrooms of the most excited children. It also taught me patience, organization, and how to stay inspired.
