About me

I grew up with 1 younger sister and brother. I was pretty much my brother's caregiver growing up, and he even called me Mommy. After high school, I started doing childcare and was lucky to develop long-term relationships with a lot of families I also did a bunch of occasional sitting with families of lots of different backgrounds. It was a fun and exciting learning experience.

I have worked with children for over 17 years, from ages newborn to fifteen. I have worked with kids of all needs and abilities, and have vast experience working with neurodiverse children. I have done everything from meal prep, bath time, after-school pickup/drop off, supervising play dates, art projects, trips - you name it, I think I've pretty much done it all! I really enjoy being outdoors with children, and I love that New York City has so much to do. I love taking kids to new places and giving them fun experiences. Child growth and development are extremely interesting and important to me, and I love watching children learn and grow as they play. I especially enjoy playing a part in their learning experiences.

I have a variety of interests that I enjoy sharing with children. I engage in a lot of mutual aid work and use my experiences and learnings to teach children about the importance of caring for and being cared for by others. I love to sing and try to impart some of that love to the children I work with. Family is also incredibly important to me, and I love working with children to help them understand the importance of being involved in the family structure and activities. I love animals and enjoy learning more about them with children. The biggest motivation for me to continue with childcare is that I recognize that children ARE our future - this generation could very well be the generation that saves us, and I want to take part in educating and helping that generation thrive. I also sincerely enjoy the time I spend with kids - they are much wiser and kinder than we often give them credit for!! It's so fun to see a kid's perspective on the world, and I learn just as much as they do from each interaction.
