About Akeem

I've been bringing love and joy to families for over 9 years now. As a native New Yorker who benefited from the care of after-school babysitters, I understand and value the intricate and beautiful bond that can be formed between a child and his/her sitter. With a BFA in Acting from NYU, I am proud of the fun and engaging quality I bring to childcare. I have led my kids through crafting handmade postcards for adolescents in developing countries, helped them discover the magic of building soap-powered motor boats, and made certain laughter and gratitude was a part of our daily routine. I also love finding magic in household chores. Whether clearing the lego catastrophe in the living room or making bologna sandwiches for a trip to the park, I truly enjoy teasing out the little pleasures of a task. "Who says that piece of bologna has to be just a piece of bologna?! It could be a traitor from the 'Land of Meats', who is being sent to the sandwich guillotine! What's a guillotine, you ask?
