Hi there! I am an alumna of Sarah Lawrence College, University of Oxford, and Kent Place School (a private all-girls school in Summit, NJ). I have had babysitting experiences throughout high school and college; primarily with families of 2-3 children under 11. I have since worked in nonprofit digital media, and am looking to have some sweet little friends and supplemental income! I love kids, and can be found in the backyard playing with the baby cousins at every family function. As a creative, I love fostering young imaginations with games, crafts, and adventures; just as much as I enjoy helping with homework so the kids I look after can learn to love school as much as I always did. I enjoy cooking, and have an incredible memory for all the minutiae of what everyone likes/won't eat anymore/now likes again. An ideal afternoon: get all the homework done so we Read more can head to the park with a blanket and some healthy snacks. (: Note: I have experience with gender-diverse/trans children and LGBTQ families.
