About Me

10+ Babysitting, nannying, and teaching experience for children of all ages.
Graduate of RADA MA Theatre Lab 2022

I am originally from America and moved to the UK 3 1/2 years ago to pursue a career in performing arts. I have both UK/US citizenship.

I am a performer, dancer, and theatre-maker who has worked in children's theatre and education. Most recently, I performed in the JW3 Pantomime and will be developing my own show for the next few months.

I can offer lessons in English, Hebrew, writing dance, drama, and improv. l will provide your child with an outlet to express themselves as well as ensure their safety at all times. I a have an Enhanced DBS checked, am CPR certified, have a car, and can cook.

My Experience

I have many years of experience babysitting and working with children. For the past year I was the Co Project Lead for a charity that specialised in working with children and teens who are in adoption or special guardianship. This past summer, I was the lead facilitator at Icon Theatre and ran the drama summer camp program for two weeks. I have also worked as an online English and Writing tutor for Engage Education with SEND children.

While in New York, I was on a twins network where I cared for children aging from 3-month old to 14-years-old. I was a regular babysitter for a family with two sets of twins, and a family with a young boy on the autism spectrum.

For 7 years I taught drama to incarcerated and court-involved young people as well as lead theatre workshops around the city.

I make sure to incorporate theatre games and activities when looking after children and find that you can teach many important life skills in the process while still being fun and goofy.
