Hi! I’m Peyton. I’m 31 and have over 15 years of experience providing childcare in NYC, Boston, Los Angeles, and Virginia for kids of all ages. I love encouraging creativity, imaginative play, and outdoor activity to support children’s emotional and physical wellbeing. My background as a professional organizer means I naturally keep spaces tidy and organized, and my years performing on Disney cruise ships taught me how to engage, entertain, and connect with children in fun, playful ways. I can prepare healthy meals and have experience managing food allergies and dietary restrictions. Available for occasional date nights or daytime caregiving!
