Meet Lindsay

• Comfortable with pets

Hi there! My name is Lindsay. I recently moved to NYC from California, where I babysat for multiple families for years. I currently work at a preschool in Greenwich Village where I teach and take care of children 2-6 years of age. My most recurring family that I have nannies was with a little boy (currently age 6) whom I took care of for four years before moving here. He struggles daily at school and home with anxiety and has terrible separation anxiety from his mother. Although we had these obstacles, I studied and learned the best ways to help and cater to him and before I knew it, we had a wonderful relationship. I also have experience working at an after school children's program where I cared for about twenty-two seven year olds. I also have 3 years experience as a children's party performer where I would sing and Read more play games with a group of children dressed as their favorite Disney princess! When babysitting I love to play games, color, and read. I also find that if the child is old enough, asking them simple questions like "How is school going?" or "What do you think about ____?" really strengthens the bond and trust between the child and I. Making he/she feel comfortable talking to me, venting to me, and being expressive with me is very important. It creates a wall of honesty where we can both treat each other with equal respect and integrity. I am a professional theatre actress and just returned from being on tour with national tour of Kinky Boots. I consider myself to be extremely patient, kind, fun, and understanding. I feel that, especially with children, those are qualities that give the most positive responses and outcomes, so I always try to respect that. I am a huge animal lover, and also have worked for and fostered many dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I would be honored to take care of your children, and build an everlasting friendship with them as they grow.

Trust & safety
