About me

As the eldest of five and a longtime manny, I connect naturally with kids and bring a mix of physical, artistic, and intellectual skills into childcare.

I play every sport, love leading dance parties, practicing yoga, and know how to keep kids active indoors and outdoors. I find that physical activity builds connection and helps kids transition into structured activities, making them more receptive to things like homework or chores. Physical activity also helps children process emotions and ease into the after-school routine, reducing screen reliance and encouraging self-regulation.

Alongside active play, I love integrating arts and storytelling into childcare. With my background as an actor and experience teaching children’s acting and improv, I have a lot of creative games and activities in my toolbox. I also love painting, filmmaking, photography, fashion, clay, and everything artistic, which gives kids exciting outlets for self-expression. As an avid photographer, I enjoy capturing moments for parents, whether with a film camera or casual updates via text.

On the educational side, I graduated with honors from Columbia University and am passionate about fostering a love for learning, especially in reading. I’ve tutored through the AP level in all subjects and have helped with college essays. Additionally, I’m comfortable with cooking and household tasks to create a supportive, balanced environment. For me, great childcare balances fun, learning, and structure, giving kids a space where they feel both understood and excited to grow.
