I am the modern day Mary Poppins with three decades of experience! I am a 42-year-old caring, kind, responsible, reliable, trustworthy, ethical, educated, dedicated, punctual, attentive, athletic, active, patient, and understanding babysitter with a solid moral compass, who exercises sound judgment, and will follow your rules at all times. I have been a babysitter, nanny, camp counselor, and lifeguard since I was 12, starting as a mother’s helper when I was 9. I have experience with caring for children from newborns through teens. I have experience tutoring at preschool - college level. I also grew up with 23 first cousins, so I have helped raise many of them. I am confidently able to watch up to six children at once (great extra set of hands for birthday parties). I am great with helping with homework, cooking, driving, coordinating schedules, grocery shopping, snack and meal prep, managing schedules, caring for pets, Read more coming up with fun activities and games, problem solving, and keeping things in order. I have had experience working with children who have learning disabilities, tutored disabled students in college, and am very patient and understanding when it comes to the extra love needed. I have cared for a child with leukemia, and administered chemo shots. I am college educated (4-years; double major in business admin and marketing; minor in philosophy), and have a background in working in sports marketing and as an executive assistant to C-Level executives of major corporations. I have lived in Manhattan for 18 years, currently residing in Battery Park, and I know this city inside and out. I know lots of fun, free activities to do throughout the city for all ages, during all seasons. I just get it, have street smarts, am quick on my feet, and am very resourceful. I grew up playing sports, and collegiate lacrosse, so I am able to play sports and other physically demanding activities. Kids absolutely love me and I love kids! I genuinely care for the well-being of children. I know that nothing beats the comfort of knowing your children are well taken care of and in good hands when you cannot be around. I am here to help! I have already had COVID, and I am vaccinated/boosted. I have received the flu and Monkey Pox vaccinations, as well.
