About me
I grew up in New Jersey and have an older brother and a twin! As a child, I enjoyed performing, reading, and watching films! I graduated recently from my dream school NY Tisch school of the arts with a BFA in drama. Since graduation, I signed with my manager and agent and have been submitting a lot of self-tape auditions. I also work at NY Kids Club in the city as well since I've been a sitter here for 6 years!
I've worked with kids who were a few month olds to pre-teens and early teens. The roles vary (especially with siblings) but I love sitting and always find ways to tailor my style to each family dynamic! I'm mainly a part-time and date night sitter but have also done all day jobs and afterschool pick-ups. I've helped with homework, read books, and helped facilitate a lot of arts and crafts and games! I also have experience sitting for kids who have sensory processing disorder. I want every child I sit for to feel safe and understood and cultivate that kind of environment as much as I can.
Acting and story-telling is my first love and helped me a lot as a child too so I love incorporating this knowledge into my work. I've also been doing yoga since I was young and find it helpful to incorporate breathing techniques and some poses to help keep the kids engaged, calm, and grounded
