A little bit about me

Hi there!
I’m a college student based in NYC with a strong background in childcare, having grown up helping care for my younger siblings from an early age. My upbringing taught me to really value working with children, and now I’m excited to gain even more hands-on experience with families in the city and surrounding boroughs.

I’m responsible, dependable, and always on time, with a calm and friendly demeanor that helps children feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important trust is when it comes to caring for your child, and I take that responsibility seriously. The same goes for any pets in your family, as I'm also willing to help care for them while babysitting!

My schedule is relatively flexible around my classes, and I’m happy to work with you to find times that suit your family’s needs, including evenings and weekends.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Coloring, doing puzzles, playing board games, and going outdoors are always my go-to!

My experience with special needs children...

I haven’t cared for children with special needs, but I have extensive experience with adults who have neurological and behavioral disorders. I have also cared for diabetic adults and am very thorough about any allergens in food. I consider myself to be a very patient and understanding person, so if there are any specific needs your child has, I am open to learning about them and working with them.
