A little bit about me

Hi! I’m an incoming sophomore at NYU, studying Early Childhood and Special Education. I’ve spent the past 4 years working with children of all ages, and I absolutely love being a sitter because it allows me to combine my passion for education, creativity, and caregiving.

I’m currently a part-time teaching assistant at a preschool, and I’ve had the privilege of working with children with disabilities and those with trauma histories. These experiences have deepened my understanding, patience, and commitment to creating safe, supportive environments for all kids.

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I bring strong skills in engaging kids through fun activities, helping with homework, and assisting with meal prep and routines. I’m hardworking, reliable, and always focused on meeting each child’s individual needs with warmth and care.

I’d love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!
