I have been babysitting since 2014 and nannying since 2018. I have also been subbing for the past three years and I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education. I am a travel nanny in the summer for a family based out of NYC and during the school year I am teaching currently. Summer of 2021, I was a part-time nanny for a 14 month old girl where I had many responsibilities including putting her down for her nap, feeding her, and entertaining her for the duration of our day. I have learned a lot about working with babies and toddlers on things like motor skills, developmental milestones, and emotional understanding. For older children, I have learned many strategies pertaining to supplemental learning inside and outside of the classroom. I love going on adventures and making the best out of any situations, so rain or shine I can guarantee we will have a lot of fun!

I’ve been a nanny for several families and have also done lots of date night and event babysitting. Over the years, I’ve worked in several daycare settings, special education classrooms, and directed summer camps. I love working with kids and bringing creativity into everything I do. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting opportunities and am open to some more regular hours during the summer before the school year begins. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to jump into crafts, games, or anything your kids are into. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or see if it’s a good fit!
