A little bit about me

I am a 31-yr-old female professional performing artist and writer based in NYC. I hold a BFA in Commercial Dance as well as a BA in English/Writing from Pace University in Lower Manhattan. When COVID hit, I lost all of my performing gigs and became a full-time nanny, and have been loving it ever since! I also went back to school and completed my master's degree in Health Education and Promotion via PSU. Next goal is to get my PhD in Psychology. Previous childcare experience includes working as a camp counselor, dance instructor, children's theatre performer, k-12 substitute teacher, full-time 7 days/week nanny, and babysitting for many families of boys/girls/multiples, from ages 3 weeks to 17 years. I am very comfortable with pets. I do not smoke, drink, or do any drugs. References: I have been working with children professionally since 2010, babysitting since 2016, and nannying full-time since 2020. I can provide recent references upon request.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When the children tell me they love and miss me, I know I did my job right! :) I still keep in touch with many of the children of families I've nannied for in the past, and the kids send me letters in the mail. It always makes me smile to know I made a difference in their lives.
