Im currently available for part-time or occasional babysitting, with flexible availability.

A little bit about me
I have over nine years of childcare experience in private households in the U.S. and internationally, including long-term nannying and a live-in au pair role in Italy during a semester abroad. I’ve cared for children from infancy through adolescence and am very comfortable supporting routines, development, and daily household structure.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and have additional experience in youth coaching and student ambassador work, which strengthened my communication, organization, and leadership skills.
I would describe myself as calm, grounded, and reliable, with a warm and patient approach to childcare. I focus on creating a structured, supportive environment where children feel secure and understood, and I’m very attentive to emotional and developmental needs.
I also enjoy staying active, traveling, cooking, and learning about different cultures, and I bring a flexible, positive, and team-oriented energy into every home I work in.
