Reliable Childcare Provider & Trusted Sitter with Multi-Year Family Experience
Welcome to my profile! If you are looking for a reliable, safety-certified sitter who loves keeping kids active and engaged, I would love to support your family. Over the past ten years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with several wonderful families—building long-term bonds, supporting children with diverse developmental needs (including Down syndrome), and managing full-time weekday schedules as a summer nanny. Because I manage severe allergies myself, I am fully trained in anaphylaxis safety and Epi-Pen administration, giving parents total peace of mind. I am deeply committed to providing a safe, structured, and engaging environment where your children can thrive! Currently, I am pursuing my degree in child psychology at Binghamton University. I bring a unique blend of formal behavioral knowledge, deep practical experience, and advanced medical safety training to every family I work with.

My experience in childcare began at age 12, when I started working as a parent helper. Through that initial role, I began caring for a family's oldest son when he was 4 years old. I stayed with that same family until my high school graduation, by which time they had grown to three children. Caring for the two boys (now 9 and 12) and their sister (now 4) up to 8 hours a day, twice a week, gave me extensive experience in preparing meals, light cleaning, providing tutoring, and organizing educational activities.
Over the years, I have built strong, long-term relationships with several families. I spent several years babysitting a young girl with Down syndrome, focusing on creating a safe, supportive, and structured environment. I also began caring for a toddler during my sophomore year of high school, and I continue to provide care for her when I return home on college breaks. During the summer months, I offer full-time, live-out nanny services, typically working Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. In this role, I manage full daytime schedules, including preparing meals, keeping the children engaged over long periods, and handling transportation to outings, summer camps, and sports practices.
My long-standing interest in working with children has led me to Binghamton University, where I am currently studying Psychology with the goal of pursuing a career in child psychology. To ensure I provide the best possible care, I completed a formal babysitting course early on to prepare for any situational needs. Additionally, because I manage severe allergies myself, I am fully trained in anaphylaxis care and experienced in administering an Epi-Pen. I am deeply committed to the well-being of the children in my care and look forward to supporting your family.
