About me
I have always valued and appreciated the role of babysitters and nannies since I had several wonderful people watch after myself and my sisters growing up. Filling this role for the past five years as a babysitter and nanny has given me great satisfaction and contentment as I know and understand the importance of caring individuals in the lives of children.
As a travel enthusiast, I love observing children as they begin to piece together their own understanding of how the world works. Living in such a large and incredible city such as NYC it is especially amazing because of the exposure children get at a young age to cultural diversity.
My training as a Health Coach has led me to appreciate wellness in a more holistic light, and I love sharing this with children as they learn to nourish their bodies with healing foods, and well as nourish their minds with knowledge, exploration, and creativity. My love for cooking reflects these concepts as I enjoy creating delicious and healthy meals that both parents and children can enjoy.
I am a very active and energetic individual and love using my bicycle as transportation around the city. Working with children has been amazing in this way because kids naturally have so much more energy than adults, and when I am with children I feed off of this energy. I love being out and about in parks and playgrounds and engaging with kids in these environments.
I have professional child care experience with...
- Infants
- Toddlers
- Preschoolers
- School-aged (K-5)
- Preteen
- Teenagers
In 5 years, I hope to be...
Thriving as an established health coach with my own business, or working with a functional medicine practice. I would love to eventually have my own outdoor space where I can grow vegetables, have a sweet dog, and possibly be talking about children with my boyfriend.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I love reading and encouraging children to set aside a quiet time and place every day to read. I believe getting outside and being every day, even during the frozen winter, is so important and can really contribute to a sense of wellbeing, focus, and contentment for kids (especially after sitting in school all day!).
