I find joy in creating fun, engaging activities that not only entertain but also support their development. In terms of experience, I’ve worked with children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens. I've supported families with daily routines, educational activities, and special needs, tailoring my approach to meet each child's unique needs.

Hi there- I have 15+ years of childcare experience. I can help with laundry. I'm a warm, kind, patient, gentle, trustworthy, reliable, energetic and fun-loving woman with a kind spirit who adores children. Working with children is very rewarding for me. Being able to communicate with a child is essential for understanding their wants and needs. I believe children are all unique and each child develops and learns in individual and distinct ways. Currently, I work in a high school as a Paraprofessional, 1:1 with students that have an IEP. I am also a full-time college student majoring in Sociology with a minor in Early Childhood & Special Education. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19. I am trained and certified in the following.. Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED, Bloodborne Pathogen and Sexual Harassment. Giving back to my community is something I'm passionate about. This is why I've been a volunteer with New York Cares since 2018. Helping my community is a way for me to grow as a person and connect with the people in and around my community. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. Some of my childcare responsibilities includes but not limited to: encouraging/assisting children in reaching their age-appropriate development milestones; organizing/hosting playdates, snack/meal prep, kitchen/play area clean-up, homework help, read to/with children; kept children engaged in their interests, played with and did fun activities like arts & crafts; Drs. appointments, trips to the park, zoo, museum and libraries. Bath & bed-time and recipe baking with the children, school/camp/day care pick-up/drop off. My skills and experience will allow me to provide a supervised, safe and stable environment for your loved ones. I look forward to meet or speak with you over the phone.

I’m Jessica! I’m 28 years old and I live in the Upper East Side. I’m spending this summer taking a step back from the 70-hour corporate grind (after six years in client relationship management in financial services) to enjoy the city, reset, and reflect on a potential bigger career pivot. In the meantime, I’m looking for meaningful part-time work that brings a little structure to my mornings while leaving afternoons open to focus on long-term goals. While I’ve only had occasional paid babysitting gigs growing up in Atlanta, I’ve spent much of my life around children. My mom was a nanny, so I grew up tagging along and seeing firsthand what patient, attentive childcare looks like. I’m also nearly 13 years older than my little brother, so I was a built-in babysitter throughout my teens. In high school, I volunteered at a nonprofit helping children with reading, writing, and math, and I spent two college summers working as a summer instructor at a kids’ learning center. I’m playful and nurturing by nature. I love taking kids to the park, diving into story time, and getting silly with pretend play. I’m also fluent in Spanish, which can be a great bonus for bilingual families or anyone looking to introduce their child to a second language. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED for both adults and pediatrics — and always aim to be a calm, responsible, and reassuring presence in any situation. I’m available weekday mornings and open to occasional evenings or weekends with advance notice. In my free time, you’ll find me walking my dog Ziggy with my boyfriend, showing friends around the city (I’ve lived in NYC for 6 years!), grabbing coffee, taking a cooking class, or catching a Broadway show.

Hello! I have 16+ years of experience with children of all ages in many capacities over the years.

I have worked primarily with infants, pre-k, this past 5 years, helping with sleep training, feeding schedules and nap schedules, caring for babies and older siblings simultaneously. I love getting children engaged in outdoor activities, art, music, home crafts, cooking, baking and all other age appropriate games and activities. I prefer an afternoon walk in the park, museum, iceskating, creating art and listening to music vs. children siting home on an Ipad, watching TV. There is so much to discover!

I am open to short term, temporary full time, full days, weekends, weekend nights Should your current caregiver need a holiday or you are traveling out of the country, visiting and need a hotel sit, I travel for SKI trips and vacations or long term temporary while you search for the perfect permanent caregiver.

I would love to work with you, I am flexible, reliable, patient, trustworthy, very responsible, energetic, caring, loving and kind. I would like to find a family that really appreciates really good child care and someone whom loves children and has a strong set of morals with gentle guidance, yet is fun and kind.

Hi parents! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 10 years and truly love what I do. I first started in college after connecting with local parents through my daycare position - and I’ve been lucky to build lasting relationships with many amazing families ever since. While I’m originally from New Jersey and have worked with families across my community there, I’ve recently moved to Manhattan and I’m excited to connect with new families here! Over the years, I’ve done everything from short-term babysitting and long-term nannying to being a go-to sitter for regular date nights. I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and feel especially comfortable with bedtime routines, story time, and light dinner prep. I especially enjoy weekend sitting and date nights (my personal specialty!). I’m also happy to help with weekday evening coverage if parents need time to run errands or take a breather. I’m CPR certified and infant first-aid certified, and I have experience caring for children with allergies, including administering EpiPens. Lastly but certainly not least, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative - I always keep parents well informed about my availability. I know how important it is to have a reliable person watch over your little ones and will always do my best to avoid last minute cancellations. References available upon request - I’d love to get to know your family! AVAILABILITY UPDATE: I’ve recently been booked by a wonderful family for most weeknights and weekend days until 8 PM. Currently, my only set availability is Fridays after 3 PM. That said, I’m still happy to help with occasional date nights or one-off sitting opportunities if I happen to have a day off (feel free to reach out and check!). I’ll be sure to update my profile if my schedule changes. Thank you for your understanding!

I am a Swiss-certified kindergarten teacher, bilingual in German and English, with over 15 years of experience caring for children from infants to teenagers.
