I’m an active New Yorker based in the Chelsea area, a current college student pursuing my bachelors in Digital Communications at Baruch College. I always aim to support each family’s unique approach to childcare. If parents prefer minimal screen time, I’m happy to encourage that through engaging play, meaningful conversation, and creative activities. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and never afraid to get down on the floor to join in their little world, making playtime both fun and enriching, ensuring your child has a caregiver who can match their excitement and curiosity. Most importantly, I believe in mirroring the way parents connect with their children, so that care feels consistent, comfortable, and aligned with your values. I’m an avid moviegoer and I also enjoy crocheting and painting which are hobbies I love to incorporate into play and activities with kids whenever possible. Have pets? 🐾 no problem!

Parents, If you are considering me to watch your little ones, I’d be more than happy to hop on a call via zoom and/or via cell if needed.

I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and households, and I truly enjoy helping families run smoothly. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens — which has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility. I babysat regularly for a 1-year-old and 6-year-old for four years, as well as for another family with a baby under one and a 4-year-old for two years. I also cared for a 3-, 5-, and 7-year-old for two years, and during high school, I was a daily after-school sitter and driver for an 8- and 10-year-old. In addition to childcare, I’ve dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college and have experience house-sitting, running errands, and providing general household support. I’m responsible, reliable, and organized, but also warm and easygoing — someone kids feel comfortable and safe with. I love creating a positive, fun environment while keeping things structured and running smoothly for parents. I also love animals.
