I’m an artist with 20+ years of childcare experience, including a decade as a nanny in New York City. I spent four years full time with a family of kids aged 4 months, 6 years, and 9 years, until the youngest started school. Since moving to the South, I enjoy meeting new families and learning how I can best support kids’ confidence, curiosity, and creativity as a sitter. I love spending time with kids outside (scootering, critter observing, sprinkler hopping!), making things (painting, sewing, baking!), reading books, and practicing new skills (potty training, cutting with scissors, phonics!) I have experience with kids on the spectrum, epi-pens, and infants. I strive for clear communication and being a nurturing, peaceful presence in the home. Open to overnights and travel sitting as needed.
