About me

I studied Architecture as an undergrad and I am working on a graduate degree in religious studies. I am a visual artist and painter. and love opportunities to merge my love for art and education. I also love reading with children and exploring imagination and development.

My child care experience ranges from 9 months up to 9 years. I spent 2 years in Houston working as a preschool teacher's assistant in the 3-year-old and prekindergarten classrooms. There, I helped with lesson planning and classroom management. I greatly enjoyed the work and within 3 months I was honored as employee of the month (and had perfect attendance for a majority of the time working at the school as well.) While living in New York I worked as a full time nanny for a family living in the Upper West Side for 6 months while the mom prepared to return to work. The family had two sons aged 1 and 3. I helped with feeding and sleeping schedules, I organized playdates for the 3-year-old in the neighborhood, prepared healthy lunches and dinners for both, kept play areas clean, and assisted with laundry. I also helped with bedtime routines and was available for date nights and company events. I also worked as an after school sitter for a family in Greenpoint with a 9-year-old son. I helped with pick up from school, organized play dates, planned frequent trips to the park to play soccer, and tutored him in math and English.

I am caring and compassionate and not afraid to laugh at myself and be silly. I also remain calm and level headed and find creative solutions when issues arise.
