About me

I am a professional dancer. I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts, but have lived in many wonderful cities such as Baltimore, San Francisco, and most recently London, and I am now very excited to be in New York!

I have been nannying since I was in high school: every summer working for the neighbors, taking care of their two children. Since this experience I have always found a way to continue nannying, and as I have graduated from schooling and moved into my career, I find that nannying is a perfect job to pair with professional dancing.

As a child I was very imaginative -- always wrapped up in creating stories and putting on shows with my siblings. To this day I am a very active and creative person, and I like to emphasize this in my nannying. I love encouraging children to use their imaginations by crafting performances with them, and I find it so inspiring and heartwarming what they come up with.

In my undergraduate degree I studied Dance and Environmental Studies, so I am also very passionate about leading an environmentally friendly lifestyle. In a fun way, I like to impart some of this wisdom on the children I nanny for. One of the ways I have done this is through baking together, making healthy alternatives to snacks and sweets.

I am a fun-loving, outgoing person, but I am also very organized and detail oriented. I always make sure to keep in line with the rules and guidelines that the parents set up.
