About Natalie

I have a natural ease with children and a deeply nurturing personality that families tend to trust right away. I've taken several early childhood development-based classes throughout high school, and I'm often the go-to babysitter among my family and friends because of my patience, attentiveness, and ability to create a calm, comforting environment. Most recently, my sister gave birth in October, and I've been very involved in caring for her newborn, so I'm comfortable and confident with infants as well as older children. I'm currently studying ceramics at SUNY New Paltz, which means creativity is a big part of who I am. I love engaging kids through imaginative play, art, and hands-on activities. Children tend to gravitate toward me naturally, and I take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and warm space where they feel seen and cared for.
