Penny K.

Ive worked with numerous families in Brooklyn and Manhattan over the last decade or more as an occasional sitter and part-time nanny (including a nanny share).

I really enjoy the quirks and delights of children of all ages, though Im especially familiar with babies and toddlers 3 months – 3 years.
My approach is to offer mature, responsible care, and to encourage wonder and curiosity. One of my strengths is discerning the needs of your child with patience and careful listening. I work empathetically to support the child as they discover the world around them.

Some rules and discipline are needed along with the playfulness, of course, so I am skilled at redirecting and encouraging quieter times or focusing on crafts or tasks.

Im also a keen dog walker and enjoy the company of cats too!
