About me

I grew up in Lenexa, KS with one wonderful older brother who happens to be on the Autism Spectrum! As a child I enjoyed imaginative pretend play, performing, arts and crafts, and playing outside. I graduated in May of 2020 from Texas Christian University where I earned my BFA in Musical Theatre! I moved to NYC in the fall of 2021, and I have been auditioning and working as a nanny ever since! I have also been fortunate enough to perform in several productions since arriving here.
I have worked as a part-time sitter, full-time nanny, dance instructor and camp counselor since beginning college in 2016. I have worked with children ages 6 months to 12 years. In my first full time nanny position, I watched 3 children aged 1 year, 7 years, and 9 years in a 2 bedroom apartment in Kansas City. I helped with diaper changes, meal times, online schooling, outings, chores around the house, etc. We had countless dance parties and played LOTS of pretend, but we also got serious about school work and treating each other with love and respect. It was an incredible experience in which I grew close with the family and enjoyed watching the children grow. I now nanny for a family with 3 children in NYC ages 4 years, 8 years, and 12 years. I spend most of my time with the 8 year old girl picking her up from school, taking her to activities, getting her ready for bed, etc.
I adore all things creative, so I love helping children find their own creative outlets and discover new passions! I am also passionate about education and providing all children the opportunity to pursue a wonderful life of learning. My outgoing spirit and willingness to meet a child on their level make me a wonderful match with energetic children as well as those who need some help getting out of their comfort zone. I want to use my skills to make a positive impact on the children I work with and make them feel safe and comfortable to grow and find their identity. I am so grateful for the people in my childhood who encouraged me and helped me to become the person I am; I hope I can make a similar impact on the children I get the opportunity to work with.
