About this Service

As a dedicated and energetic nanny, who follows the teachings of Pippi Longstocking, I provide a fun, creative, and caring environment for children of all ages. I’m flexible throughout the week and happy to adapt to your family’s needs, though I prefer weekends off but can help if needed. I love engaging kids in imaginative play, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m also a big dog lover, so if your furry friends need walks or extra attention, I’m more than happy to help. Plus, I enjoy cooking and can assist with light household duties to keep things running smoothly. My goal is to create a safe, happy, and engaging space for your little ones while offering extra support where needed!

About this Lister

Hello! I’m a born-and-bred New Yorker with a Berlin twist—bilingual, bicultural, and always up for an adventure! Growing up speaking both English and German, I’d love to bring a little language magic into a child’s daily routine—whether that means helping a family stay connected to their roots or making a transition to New York life a little easier.

As a kid, my parents were busy, so I had my fair share of nannies, and let me tell you—I hit the jackpot with some of them! Many are still in my life today, and they showed me firsthand just how important a nanny can be in a child’s world. I'm lucky I get the chance to be that person for someone else.

I’ll admit, I wasn’t exactly the easiest kid (think “spirited” with a side of mischief), so I have endless patience and empathy for little ones who sometimes/always struggle. I love to spark creativity—whether it’s dressing up for an imaginary quest, diving into arts and crafts, or turning the living room into a magical kingdom. I bring warmth, creativity, and a playful spirit to every day. Whether through storytelling, art, or adventures big and small, I’m here to make childhood even more magical!

Background and Expertise

I started babysitting at 13—quite the responsible teen, despite my own mischievous childhood—and quickly realized how much I loved working with kids. Supporting families throughout my adolescence kept me connected to my playful side while also teaching me responsibility. I’ve cared for children aged 3-12 in a variety of roles, from part-time and full-time positions to overnight stays, pickups, drop-offs, and even live-in support. I’ve also traveled with families on vacation and built lasting bonds with the kids I’ve cared for—many of whom I still keep in touch with today.

Beyond that, my most immersive childcare experience has been with my own family. When my oldest sister had a baby two years ago, I spent months in Berlin helping with the transition—essentially as an au pair. While unpaid, it was very much a job. I handled everything from early wake-ups, meals, preschool drop-offs and pickups, playtime, and bedtime routines. When he was a baby, it was full-time, 24/7 attention. That experience deepened my understanding of childcare, and I loved every second of it.

In Berlin, I built a wonderful community of families I could always support, and now that I’m in New York, I’m eager to find that again!
