About me

Hello! My name is Caroline Pernick and I am a graduate of UCLA's school of Theater, Film, and Television. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and always knew I wanted to do theater - which also meant I always knew I wanted to move to New York. I've lived in NYC for two years now and don't think I'll ever leave!

Every job I've had outside of performing has included working with kids and I have ample experience with all ages - infants to teens! I grew up co-directing children's theater camps, worked at a family resort throughout college where I was responsible for taking care of and entertaining 3-18-year-olds, taught preschool for my first summer in NYC, and have now been with the same family babysitting for the past two years (ages 6 and 10). I have been commended by my current kiddos on my major improvements in my soccer, basketball, and catch skills, I am an expert board game player, and work as a Disney princess for birthday parties so I have my princess skills prepped and ready to go!

I have always led with curiosity, wonder, and a love of play that both drew me to the theater and caused me to continually fall more in love with it. All of those qualities- wonder, joy, awe, unabashed expression- are superpowers that kids have in droves. I love nurturing those gifts and am very proud of the balance I find as a sitter - cultivating joy and comfort while integrating Social-emotional awareness skills and building a space where we learn alongside each other.
