Hi! I'm Molly and I'm an actress and writer based in Brooklyn! I'm really passionate about working with kids; at 19, I co-founded a theatre camp for kids aged 9-14, in college I took a full-year course in teaching artistry, and this summer I've been working at a theatre camp for kids aged 3-6. I love making crafts, going to the park, and reading (some favorites include Frog and Toad and Anne of Green Gables). I can't wait to meet your family!
“Molly was an absolute lifesaver today! We reached out on very short notice to find childcare so my wife and I could celebrate her birthday with a run around Central Park, and Molly stepped in without hesitation. From the start, she was a complete pleasure to deal with—responsive, kind, and professional. She arrived right on time (actually early, to be exact) and stayed for the entire duration we needed. Most importantly, she was incredibly fun and engaging with our children; they had a wonderful time with her, which gave us total peace of mind while we were out. As a true New York expert, she knows the city inside and out. We could not recommend Molly more highly to any family in need of a dependable, warm, and fantastic babysitter in NYC. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
