About Portia

Hi! I have experience with children of all ages. I worked as a swim coach throughout high school, for three years, and worked with children aged 2-14. I am the oldest of six girls, with the youngest being 1. 5 years old. I have years of experience taking care of and babysitting my siblings, from newborns to middle schoolers. I have also worked as a babysitter since the age of 15 for many families, throughout high school and college. I currently live in lower Manhattan where I attend a Physician Assistant masters program. I have a bachelors degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara in psychology and brain sciences. I can help with Cooking/Meal Preparation and cleaning as well. I am comfortable with pets, as I have cats and had dogs growing up. I look forward to hearing back from you! I am available Fridays - Sundays, with some morning available Monday to Thursday.
