Thanks so much for taking the time to read a bit about me. I am a native New Yorker who's worn many hats. I enjoy creatively engagement and collaboration, as a Creative Writer who gravitates more towards the uplifting energies of an environment - the people and the creativity within those environs, rather than a particular job title. I pride myself on being: kind, responsible, gentle, energetic, creative & although incredibly empathetic, also appropriately firm, as well as fun. I've been told that I am a natural caretaker. As an empathic nurturer, I nurture and enhance emotional connection and self-expression. Thus, I am both highly responsible and grounded, and at once am also very light-hearted, which involves helping those around me enjoy themselves! I love all art, poetry, music, spiritual connection, nature, and engaging with others of all backgrounds and ages. Being both independent and introspective, as well as a Read more very spirited social "people person," I thrive on collaboration and community. As I have been blessed with being an Auntie, I fell in love with children at a later age than most, which seems to be aligned with my "late bloomer" personality. Although I am playful, and empathetic, I am also highly discerning, and lovingly make boundaries, as I value being both responsible and trustworthy. I was a live-in nanny for two of my niece's for a few years (from toddler to school-age) - while both my brother and his wife worked full-time. I also worked as a Special Education Teaching Assistant, in the Chappaqua Schools, working with Special Ed. elementary school-aged children during the summer and with Special Needs High School students during the school year. My partner and I, now enjoy a loving bond with each of the children, for which we are eternally grateful. I also helped my partner with child are for two sweet boys in Midtown for a few years. My partner and I, run a small Holistic Wellness Practice, which I manage, part-time; we live in the theater district. I welcome the opportunity to care for your children! Be well!

Goldalee stayed with our anxious dog for a week while we were out of town. She provided so much attention and patience during her visit and was willing to spend time getting to know her through regular walks before the trip. We are so grateful to have found Goldalee and for the care she showed for our girl.

Goldalee gave our dog regular (2-3x per week) solo walks for several months and then stayed with her at our home for a long weekend. She was very kind, communicative, flexible and always prompt! It was so nice to have such a person taking care of our quiet and sweet pup. We were immediately comfortable with Goldalee as a walker, so we asked her to watch her over a long weekend shortly after starting. Everything was great there too! Our dog was in kind, experienced hands. I would certainly recommend Goldalee for walks, check-ins and overnight pet care.

Goldalee cat-sit for me and my cat Marcel and went above-and-beyond, spending a lot of extra time with him! He's a very social cat so I could tell that he appreciated it. Usually when I get home from trips, he's extra needy for a few days to make up for lost time. But this time he was just his normal self thanks to Goldalee :)
