About me

My name is Huxley and I am a childcare professional and theatre artist! I have a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. I grew up in Texas as the oldest of 3 children, and have been living in NYC for almost a decade! As a child, I spent most of my time daydreaming and engaged in imaginative play. I loved to play outside, do messy arts and crafts, and perform for my family. As I got older, I loved caring for my siblings and the children of family friends. This love of childcare has only continued to grow!

As an NYC caregiver, I have had the pleasure of working as both a full and part-time nanny, and as a teacher/teaching artist! After graduating from college, I began working with the New York Kid’s Club and Preschool and taught Pre-K (3s), Summer Camp (ages 2-6), and enrichment classes (ages 11 months to 6 years)with the company for over 3 years. In addition to New York Kid’s Club, I have also worked for Curated Care as a Kid Expert for over 5 years, providing creativity-based childcare to children ages 4 months to 14 years! My duties have included planning activities/schedules, safely taking children around the city, cooking/meal-prep, bottle and toy sanitization, bedtime and bath routines, running errands, and assisting with potty training. Some highlights of my in-home childcare experience include working as a Full-Time nanny to a lovely West Village family with two sweet boys (four months and 2.5 years), and most recently as a Part-Time after school nanny to an incredible Hell’s Kitchen family with a sweet and rambunctious brother/sister duo (3.5 and 4.5 years). I am lucky enough to still be a supportive adult presence in the lives of several of the children that I have cared for!

My approach to childcare is firm but gentle, and I pride myself on my ability to remain patient, calm, and understanding no matter the circumstance. I am someone who is always happy to answer a child’s “why?,” and I will always take the time to affirm a child’s emotions. I truly love helping children learn to communicate their needs and to emotionally regulate, and I strongly believe in always treating children with kindness and respect.
