A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Hannah! I graduated from NYU with a Biology major and CS minor and will be starting my masters this fall in bioinformatics! I'm hoping to nanny this summer not only because I enjoy working with kids, but also to save up a bit before starting school in the fall.

In middle and high school, I regularly babysat for neighbors and family friends, caring for children from just over a year old up to 11 or 12. I babysat upwards of 3 children at a time.

I’m responsible, warm, and engaging, and I love encouraging curiosity and creativity. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, or organizing fun activities, I do my best to create a safe, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for.

I look forward to meeting you and your family!
