When I was 5 years old, I walked down Broadway and saw a sign with Big Bird. My dream was to “make it big” in New York City. When I grew up, I moved to New York, but it was a different than I had ever imagined. I chased after a dollar. I hustled. I taught French, worked in a café (for a week), showed apartments, cat sat, house sat, sold an iron on craigslist for $10, worked at Rolex on 5thAvenue and lived in about 10 different apartments.

I am also a heterosexual, sorority girl who likes to attend fraternity parties and shamelessly flirt with boys. If you find yourself confused by these two very different persona, welcome to my world.  → Read More

Every study indicates millennial males are an evolved model of masculinity: kinder, more accepting, unintimidated by dirty diapers, comfortable with sharing power with a new generation of high-achieving females. But how well do we really know them – particularly in the workplace? The new generation of women and work have been peeled, prodded and parsed from every angle – their education, their numbers, their issues, their needs, their frustrations. But you would be hard pressed to find one illuminating equivalent study on the male side of the gender divide.  → Read More

I am a 20-something college graduate with a bachelor’s of science in early childhood/childhood education (birth through grade 6). I am a nanny, with plans of some day opening my own home family daycare. For me caregiving is not just babysitting, it is a career – one that I take very seriously.
