About me

I am born and raised in South Carolina by an absolute treasure of a single mother who showed me an incredible example of how to rear a child. I have always loved to sing, dance, and play dress-up! I did classical ballet for 11 years and love to use the art of dance to stay active. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 2019 with honors: magna cum laude. Recently relocated to Brooklyn from the Virgin Islands, where there was very little need for childcare professionals, and I am so excited to be here and to join a new family!
I have 13+ years of experience in childcare, including three recent full-time house manager/nanny positions with esteemed responsibilities. In addition to this, I have 9+ years of service industry experience, which accounts for all gaps present in my childcare resume. Having cared for children from 6 months – 12 years, I feel comfortable with any age group, multiples, and siblings with age gaps. My household duties have included: meal prep, grocery receiving, cleaning dishes, taking the trash out, pet care, laundry, picking up after children, and general sanitation. Child-centered duties have included: bottle preparation/feeding, transitioning to solid foods, diaper changing, potty training, bathing, school preparation/drop-off/pick-up, virtual school/therapy facilitation, strict schedule adherence, and designing development-advancing activities. I have experience teaching lessons in science, math, English, culture, and art. With my good driving record and working vehicle, I am comfortable transporting children. My adult/child/infant CPR and first aid certification are freshly updated, I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and extremely safety conscious! Supervising children in the water is something I have a variety of experience in and I am a strong swimmer.
If you are looking for an enthusiastic, driven caregiver you have come to the right place. I strive to give my families the most nurturing, respectful, and intentional atmosphere in the home, while also bringing a creative, inspired element. One of my favorite perks of the job is getting to encourage children to blossom into themselves creatively, emotionally, and independently. A highly artistic individual, I thrive in positions where I can plan exciting curriculums and activities for children to learn by doing. Scheduling field trips and playdates to enrich their lives is a high priority. I treat the kids I care for with respect and honor their feelings to create the most loving/supportive environment I can.
