A little bit about me

I’m an experienced, dependable childcare professional having worked with families in New York and New Jersey for many years. I’ve cared for children from infants through school age, providing after-school care, transportation, homework help, meals, and creative activities.

As a Manhattanite, I worked as an artist while also substituting at Riverside Church School with toddlers and preschoolers. At Bright Horizons, I cared for infants through pre-kindergarten and was invited to become a permanent teacher.

I’m President of the Piermont Civic Association, bringing the community together through events for children and adults. I love creating fun, engaging experiences through art and activities.

Earlier, I was a professional ballerina and danced at Lincoln Center with American Ballet Theatre. I’m warm, responsible, hardworking, and reliable, and I’m looking for a childcare position with some flexibility in days and hours. I value communication with parents and a safe, happy environment.

"It is a pleasure to provide a personal recommendation for Joanne ("JoJo"). She has been a trusted caregiver for my grandchild, Aurora (now twelve), providing dependable care during my frequent overnight and weekend business trips. Joanne is the kind of caregiver every family hopes to find: responsible, attentive, and deeply invested in the well-being of the children in her care. She doesn't simply supervise; she engages. Whether they are cycling along the Hudson, thrifting locally, preparing meals together, or taking day trips into the city for art exhibits, Joanne consistently encourages curiosity, creativity, and active learning. Aurora has a wonderful bond with Joanne and always feels completely safe and cherished in her care. Joanne brings warmth, maturity, and absolute dependability to everything she does, and I recommend her wholeheartedly for any babysitting or childcare position."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’m an experienced, dependable childcare professional who has worked with families in New York and New Jersey for many years. I’ve cared for children from infants through school age, providing after-school care, transportation, homework help, meals, and creative activities. Because I’m an artist, I am always volunteering my face painting skills for our library and other village events.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy any and all art projects I do with children. If your family has a pet, on a nice day a walk with children and a pooch is perfect.
I play cards with children whom I sit for, board games, and helping them with homework. I love to read and encourage them to read as well.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, it’s about making sure the child in my care feels completely safe, loved, and enjoys my company.

My experience with special needs children...

My partner Richard has a son who has severe autism. We take him to restaurants, arcades, go cart centers, bowling and during summer seasons to outdoor pools. We spend time outdoors in parks just walking.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love those moments when a child proudly shows me something they’ve made, and their face lights up with excitement. That connection and joy is what makes caring for children so special to me.
