Hi!
I'm Isabelle, am 29 years old and live in NYC.
I have an AA in Art and a BA in Politics.
I work as a case manager/community organizer at a food pantry on the UES.
I used to babysit during college and always enjoyed it which is why I still occasionally enjoy picking up some gigs here or there :)
I grew up in Germany with an American mother, a German father, and am the oldest of 4 siblings.
I'm fluent in both German and English and have worked with bilingual kids in both a nanny and teaching environment.
After graduating from HS in Germany and professionally working in the performing arts growing up, I was interested in working socially with families and kids who were less fortunate/had special needs.
In the summer of 2015, I started an art+living project in Germany with kids and families who had fled their countries.
In 2016, I became part of a therapeutic horse farm that focused on working with kids with special needs. I was the outdoor teacher and leader of an inclusive forest group consisting of 5-7 children aged 4-10 years old.
Upon moving to the USA in 2017, I worked as a teacher at the Seattle Waldorf School and absolutely ❤️ it.
In the summer of 2022, I worked with kids in Ukraine+Poland, primarily teaching or working with mothers and babies.
I've been working with runaway homeless youth at places such as The Door and The Ali Forney Center for the past several years.
Working with kids has always brought me joy and kept me grounded during hectic times.
I nannied during undergrad and, while I have experience with children of all age ranges, I have primarily worked with infants and babies during their first year of life.
I have experience with night-nannying, sleep training, feeding, and multiples.
For those of you with older kids, bedtime routine is no problem either as I have had many longer term after-school gigs as well.
I am confident in navigating the city responsibly, including school pick-up, and use of public transit.
As a nanny, I'd describe myself as relaxed, punctual, reliable, flexible, confident, reasonable, communicative, consistent and dedicated.
I very much enjoy working with families of different backgrounds, and I am absolutely LGBTQ+ family-friendly, being part of one myself.
I can provide references and am happy to answer any further questions.
I'm vaccinated and CPR trained.

When I'm not nannying, I am playing soccer, going for a run, cheering on the WNBA+ NWSL, going out with friends or staying in with my books.
