I have been passionate about working with babies and kids since my younger brother was born. I then starting as a neighborhood babysitter when I was 13, worked for a local gym's childcare center while in high school, volunteered with children at a preschool during college, worked with children at an after school enrichment program in 2009 for an elementary school, and teaching English to Italian children in Italy between December 2009 and June of 2011. I was a nanny for two middle-schoolers 2011, 2012. I did regular nanny work for 5 and 3 year old boys, and a 6 year old girl 2014-2015. I currently nanny part-time after school for an 9 year old boy and an 11 year-old girl. This has been the perfect job to supplement my growing photography business. I photograph kids and families as well.
