About me

I am a caring and dedicated babysitter with 5 years of experience working privately in New York City, with a background in swim education, lifeguarding, camp counseling, and improv/theater education. I'm an active listener and clear communicator, passionate about creative play and actively interested in cognitive development. I try to keep the spirit of play in all aspects of my life and I love being able to spend my days imparting that to the children I work with. In high school, my friends called me "Mama Sa" because I was always taking care of and nurturing the people I care about. It's something I can't turn off! When I describe myself I often say I'm "a friend to children and animals," and I feel that's the case in my work. While I do the basic work of keeping children safe, clean and fed, I've never worked with a child I haven't befriended in some capacity. I give the care and love that I give my friends and family.

I've worked with infants, teenagers, and everything in between. I have experience with children on the spectrum, learning disabilities, emotional disorders, and allergies. I've worked all forms of families, single parent to multi-parent/multi-household.

I'm an aspiring writer and I spend a great deal of my free time working on screenplays and TV pilots. I love making people laugh and I spend a lot of time at the theater where I make comedy and tell stories with my friends. So much can be taught and soothed through storytelling and laughter.
