Bio

Maggie Parker was born and raised in New York City. After going to school in DC at American University for two years, she realized that her heart was in New York and came back to finish her degree at Marymount Manhattan College. She has a Bachelors Degree in Acting, with a minor in Musical Theatre.

To support her inconsistent acting career, she has been babysitting all over New York City since she was 13. She is much better at handling kids than she is handling dishes, so unlike most actresses in New York, she is a nanny, not a waitress. Luckily she loves kids and feels she is a big kid at heart so it doesn't feel like work most of the time.

In addition to her performance experience and multiple internships in the entertainment business, she has also worked as an assistant teacher at a pre-school temporarily. Maggie has worked with kids ages 6 months to 8 years old, and has ventured all over the city in search of fun activities to do with children.
