About me

Having grown up in pastoral Pennsylvania with a younger brother, I experienced an exciting childhood. I loved spending time outdoors, cooking, and art-making. I left Pennsylvania in 2017 to study at Pratt Institute. I began nannying during my sophomore year, and have since worked longterm for 3 families. After graduating in May of 2021 with a BFA in Film, I started working for Brooklyn Nature Days, an outdoor Forest School in Prospect Park, as a teacher of 3-7 year-olds. I love to incorporate my extensive arts & film education into my childcare work, often prioritizing creativity and expression in the activities I plan.

My experience with children began in 2017 when my parents adopted a newborn. I loved helping to care for her, inspiring me to pursue child care professionally. My first nannying job began in 2017 for two siblings aged 7 & 9 in Park Slope, providing school pick-ups, activity drop-off, homework help, light cooking and house cleaning services. Additionally, I would stay late whenever the family needed. The family left Brooklyn in 2020, but I occasionally travel upstate to provide childcare for long weekends. I’ve also nannied for a 3-year-old boy in Crown Heights, proving daytime and nighttime help, especially with bath time and bedtime. Most recently, I’ve babysat for a 9-year-old girl, working with an emphasis on guided creative activities, including producing mini-movies and drawing, as this child is interested in the arts. In the summer of 2021, I began working as a Teacher at Brooklyn Nature Days in Prospect Park. I supervise ten 3-7-year-old kids alongside a co-teacher in the unpredictable, outdoor environment of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. I foster curiosity and creativity in a child-led non-punitive program, in addition to safe park transportation, lunch supervision, and guidance with wildlife interaction.

Personally, I love everything relating to art and nature, particularly hiking, filmmaking, birdwatching, sewing, and drawing, and I strive to incorporate my expertise into my childcare practice. I believe that every child deserves an opportunity to be heard and to be treated with patience and kindness, and this is the motto I work by!
