About me

I have been a nanny in the downtown Manhattan area for over 15 years. I started slowly as a "mother's helper " and with my genuine love for children and intuitive willingness to help, became a full time nanny. I think of myself as energetic, creative and silly while keeping an honest demeanor that lets kids feel safe to express themselves in a free and fun way. I believe in teaching the children I watch respect and manners while also making them strong and bold.

Being a nanny is a job that teaches me something new and beautiful everyday and reminds me what is important in life. Kids are unique and I find their lack of filter rather refreshing. I think the best part of being a nanny is becoming close with the families and the neighborhood I'm surrounded by. My parents are both creative and were/are a huge influences on me. I think that's why I love to teach kids art and watch them be creative.

For the last four years I have watched three little girls from when they were one, three and five grow into young ladies. When the middle child was diagnosed with type one diabetes at the age of four everything about being a nanny changed. While it has been an intense learning curve it has also taught me how to become a serious care giver. I have to balance administering insulin all the while simultaneously being loving and understanding and offering distractions. I also enjoy having dance parties and teaching kids about different genres of music and often go to concerts and music festivals.
