About me

Greetings!

I am Colleen, an artist, and outdoor enthusiast, excited for the opportunity to be your nanny. Growing up in Atlanta with my dad and twin sister, I developed a love for art, games, cooking, the outdoors, and any adventure that kept me active. If I wasn’t at the park rollerblading or playing frisbee, you could find me lifting rocks to discover the little creatures burrowed beneath them. I still enjoy childlike wonder and staying active through rock climbing, running, biking, or yoga. I also love painting, attending art events, playing the banjo with friends, and cooking vegan food—all of which I would be thrilled to share with your children. I had a really positive experience with my childhood nannies, and I would love to create that same experience for your family.

After my time at the University of Georgia, where I pursued a Studio Art degree, I now reside in Brooklyn, exploring my passion for art through exhibitions, museum visits, and building friendships. Over the past year, I have worked as a rock climbing instructor and camp counselor in Brooklyn. I also have experience as both a nanny and daycare worker in Atlanta. I've worked with children from toddlers to teens up to age 15, and I feel confident in my ability to keep kids nourished, safe, and engaged.

I enjoy connecting deeply to child-like wonder, remembering how I felt in my childhood. I find so much joy in kids expressing the presence of being in the moment. I believe in empowering kids to feel autonomous by respecting their needs within a safe environment and assisting families in a way that supports everyone involved. I look forward to meeting your family!
