About me

I came to NYC from Orlando, FL, to fulfill my dream of being an actress. Along the way, I discovered a passion for teaching and working with children. I have worked with children of all ages and stages of development in theatre classes, summer camp, and babysitting. From changing diapers to teaching them new skills, I am very comfortable and passionate about facilitating their everyday lives, while still keeping things interesting. My adaptability, organization, and attention to detail lends itself well to planning fun themed birthday parties and being a personal assistant. I really love to bake and cook. I enjoy experimenting with different healthy recipes, especially when I get to hang out with my 4-year-old nephew. We come up with creative, different recipes that allows him to be my sous chef. I look forward to having dinner parties with my friends each month, because it allows me to broaden my cooking skills based on the many allergies they may have.

When working with children, I create a fun, caring, and structured environment, but I make sure safety is key. I love to read and strive to share that love with children. It's always fun for them to act our story we have just read together. At Stagedoor Manor, a theatrical sleep-away camp, I taught classes on storytelling and improvisation. I love to incorporate these lessons into everyday life, and help boost language skills, communication, and the love of sharing their experiences with everyone around them!

All of these experiences have prepared me to successfully jump into new environments and create strong relationships. I look forward to working with you and your family!
