Sittercity helps Port Washington families find the best babysitters

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 wonderful family, My name is Joelle, and I am an seasoned babysitter and early-childhood educator of 7+ years. With my diverse work experiences as a babysitter, lead pre-k teacher, nanny and more I can certainly attest to the popular phrase - "actions speak louder than words" ! I strive to teach this to children of all ages in my care through mindful play that encourages language development and self-expression. Growing up in a large African-American and Filipino-American family has taught me to be highly family-oriented and hard-working. My upbringing has also helped me instill a passion for learning about different cultures, languages and religions. I am currently a beginner Spanish speaker with hopes to use the language more often on my travels and at work. One of my fondest moments as an educator was watching one of my 3 year-old students, Sitora, describe her drawing of a butterfly to me with her hands. She made the shape of a butterfly with her two palms together, and fluttered her fingers to me when I could not understand what was in her drawing during class. I was completely blown away in that moment! In addition to my experiences working at daycare centers and preschools, I have been entrusted to the children of my family members, as well as the children of family friends and referrals since the age of 16. I especially enjoy helping little ones express themselves through art and dance, and preparing nutritious meals for them whenever needed. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your children’s needs and working with your family to help them grow! Best Regards, Joelle Middleton Early Childhood Educator (929)595-0132

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 find joy in creating fun, engaging activities that not only entertain but also support their development.
