About me

I was born and raised in a suburb north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul. I absolutely loved growing up in the midwest where I was surrounded by a loving family, tons of outdoor activities, and amazing lakes. I was, from the beginning of my life, a true performer in all ways. I used to sit my family down and perform Shania Twain's entire album at least once a week. When I got older, I followed my dreams of performing in New York for school. I earned a B.F.A in Theatre Performance from Hofstra University, and immediately upon graduating, I moved to the big apple! I have since gotten the chance to perform regionally and in New York City.

My passion for childcare started very early in my life. I grew up with a large extended family who was around constantly. I took pleasure in taking care of my younger cousins, and being a role model for them, for as long as I can remember. I also grew up within walking distance from my elementary school and growing up, I would babysit neighborhood kids and help them with homework. When I moved to the city, I knew I wanted to continue my work in childcare in any way possible. Since moving here I have worked with babysitting agencies that have allowed me to be a sitter for children ages 2 to 13. I have experience as a dance/music teacher for kids, and also as a child swim instructor. My most recent nannying job had me working with the same kids for almost four years now! I take them to school in the morning, pick them up in the afternoon, and take them to all after-school activities including play dates, hockey practices, and doctor's appointments. They are now 10 and 13 years old. It's amazing for me to see them growing older into preteens! I have also worked as a part-time sitter, a date night sitter, and a combination child and pet sitter.

I've always used my performer skills in my work as a nanny/sitter, and I believe it allows me to share my passion with children, and allow them to be their most authentic and creative selves. I love to use my energetic and humorous personality to connect with kids! I am incredibly grateful to be a part of their lives.
