I am a warm, playful caregiver and educator with over six years of experience working with children in schools, programs, and home settings. I currently teach K–12 programs at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and previously coordinated youth development programs with GrowNYC. I also spent a year as a preschool teacher, designing hands-on learning experiences that supported social-emotional growth, early literacy, and curiosity-driven play. In addition to classroom work, I’ve cared for children ages 4–10 as a babysitter and nanny, supporting homework, routines, and creative activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, safety-focused, and highly reliable. I love exploring with kids — whether we’re visiting gardens and museums, going on nature walks, cooking together, or diving into art projects. As a part-time artist and great cook, I bring creativity, patience, and joy into every day, helping children feel supported, confident, and eager to learn. I'm allergic to cats but absolutely love dogs and would happily care for your furry friend as well!
I have 2 to 3 years of experience working with the children. I started off working at a babysitting kids on my house doing simple chores, like giving them dinner and helping with homework. Then I went off to work at a daycare where did different learning activities with the children and obviously have so much fun while doing it and singing and dancing. Right now I work in a therapeutic school with special education, student and I love working with kids and doing the best that I could to show them different task and I own a cat and two dogs so I love animals
