A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Annalise Wrobel; I’m 24 (25 in November) years old and would love to be your live in nanny in NYC! I graduated college in 2021 with a degree in political science and english, a focus on creative writing and storytelling. I played lacrosse as a part of the NCAA while in school, which helped shape the person I am today; teaching me about resilience, perseverance, teamwork, and growth. I’ve worked with children my entire life; as a coach, a nanny, a tutor, a volunteer in the pediatric emergency unit of the hospital. I love spending my time with children and helping them grow into respectable and happy people while always admiring how they affect my life as well. I’m from the North (Annapolis, MD) and have spent the last two years down south; however, New York is my favorite place in the world and I’m definitely looking for something long term with your family. I’m willing to relocate as soon as needed! If you’d like to jump on a call to meet face to face Id love to!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Abby! I'm from Windsor CT and a fun fact about me is that I grew up at New England Prep school Loomis Chaffee in Windsor Connecticut! It was a really unique upbringing! I attended Loomis for high school and I am now a student at Marist College majoring In Media Studies (Film & Television). At Marist, I am on the E-Board of the Red Fox Film Club, A Resident Assistant (RA), and a member of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Last spring, I worked as a faculty intern at Loomis Chaffee, helping to oversee students by covering dorm duty and monitoring students spaces, matinence and events. I am looking to be a nanny in the summer of 2022 and then full-time once I graduate college in May 2023. I am highly passionate about becoming a nanny and I feel my biggest strengths are that I am active, responsible, and adaptable.
