Find a wedding babysitter in Maspeth, NY

I work full-time as a procurement analyst for the city of NY, but I also enjoy helping families when they need an extra hand. I’m dependable, organized, and patient, with experience caring for kids.

I am 31-years-old with over 15 years of experience working with children! I just completed my MFA in Theater Directing at UT Austin and relocated back to Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about reading, love art and music, and I am kind, calm, fun and reliable. Currently, I'm looking for part-time, occasional, and date night sitting in the Brooklyn area. I've worked as a long term babysitter for a family with three young children - 6-year-old twins and a 2-year-old - and as a date night sitter for children from 3 months to 10 years. Most recently, I worked for as a part-time afterschool nanny for 4-year-old twins in Brooklyn. In college, I worked as Preschool teaching assistant and have experience with Early Childhood Education and Development coursework. I've also spent three summers as a camp counselor for kids entering Kindergarten. I am CPR & First Aid certified.

I am a recent graduate from Wesleyan University, where I studied Sociology and Italian. I successfully coordinated and taught my cherished after-school enrichment program—Cardinal Kids—where I worked with students age 5 to 12. Not only was this program enrichment-focused, but I learned what it means to make an impact and be a role model for younger minds. I have always wanted to be a big sibling-esque person to someone—I am the youngest in my family, and adored having all my older siblings and cousins as role models for me. During my teenage years, I lived with my single mom, who is the most caring woman ever. She taught me everything I need to know. She cared for my Gram in her final years, and I assisted with a lot of her healthcare needs—driving to and from appointments, administering medicine/diabetes shots, cooking, cleaning, assisting mobility, etc. All that said, I am well-experienced across many areas of care. It would be my pleasure to make a difference for you, however I can. I can also offer writing and language tutoring—as well as basic science and math principles.

I have several years of childcare and child development experience through volunteer, leadership, and internship roles. As Head of the Junior Committee at The Child Development Centre, I helped support teaching, structured activities, and volunteer training for children with special education needs. I also completed a Developmental Psychology Internship there, where I observed clinical psychologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and SEN teachers, and helped with child assessment materials. Additionally, I have volunteered at Saviour Lutheran School, assisting with English instruction and educational activities for underprivileged children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting children with different learning styles and needs.
