  About Me
 
I am a 36 year old with lifelong experience with children of all ages. I started babysitting for neighbors and family when I was 12 and never really stopped. My mother was a nursery teacher and currently a nanny on Long Island, and I was always helping her when I wasn't nannying myself.. you can say it's in my DNA:)
I currently live in Brooklyn with my boyfriend, and have very recently left a corporate job in the search for a job I can actually love, working with children.
I am a 200 hour certified Krupalu yoga instructor with experience with children's yoga, I have worked at a daycare, and am interested in the arts. I love to cook and have no problem doing house work.
Other hobbies besides cooking include anything related to the beach and water. I grew up on Long Island near the beach and am a life long boater, fisher, surfer and lover of all things beach.
I believe I would be ideal for a family looking for someone who will be nurturing, playful, and not afraid to gently discipline with necessary. It is important to my that children under my care keep a schedule (sleep, meals) and that they are not sitting in front of a t or a TV all day. I like to be out in nature, garden, and am extremely pet friendly.
