Meet Chelsea

Hi There! I'm Chelsea and I'd love to help you care for your children! I am an NYC based actor and teacher with over 10 years of experience in childcare. As actor, I have toured with several professional productions that cater to a younger audience such as Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Disney's Beauty and the Beast. On these productions, I got to do some of the things I love most: teaching youth important values, inspiring others, and performing! I am a graduate of The Boston Conservatory and NYU Steinhardt where I received my Bachelor's and Masters in Music with an emphasis in Musical Theatre. As a dedicated actor with a passion for childcare, I believe I can bring a unique blend of creativity, responsibility, and warmth to your family. As well as being an actor, I am also a teacher with over 5 years of experience specializing in music performance. Read more For two years as a music/drama teacher at a charter school, I taught Pre-K- 3rd students the fundamentals of music as well as prepared them for their annual concerts and musicals. I have also worked as a music specialist at Gymboree, teaching parents and toddlers how to play while also building coordination skills and preparing them for preschool. I am skilled at adapting activities to suit each child's unique interests and learning styles, fostering a love for learning in them that extends beyond the classroom. I am a very patient, gentle, and fun person who works well in almost any family dynamic. You can rely on me to help with homework, preparation for exams, or simply occupy your child's time during the day with an array of games I have learned over the years. I also have experience preparing meals and helping with household chores such as laundry and cleaning. I am perfectly comfortable working with children of all ages from toddlers to pre-teens and have no problem babysitting multiples. I am excited to learn more about your family and how I can help! Best, Chelsea Smith
