Booked by 1 family in Edgewater, NJ

Hello! A New York resident of 3+ years, I have recently pivoted from working a full time administrative job at a finance firm to doing freelance producing work in the New York theatre scene. I have always loved working with kids and have full confidence in my ability to provide high quality, creative, fun, and safe care for children. I recently renewed my CPR certification (2025) and have cared for children from 15 months to preteens. Happy to do light housework and cooking as well. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to chat!

Eliza was a delight. She had a great manner with my 16 month old and was easy to work with.
