I've not had an opportunity to have kids and I love them! This is a way for me to enjoy that and help out at the same time. I'm a very dependable person, with a B.S. in Communications and Public Relations, as well as a Certificate of Photography. I'm also a Yoga Therapist and teacher and have had a children's Yoga Ed certification since 2009. I am CPR and first aid trained, and I love pets of all kinds and have 4 cats of my own that I first fostered and now adopted...you could say I am a foster failure :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello Families, I'm Jackie. I have over 10 years of experience working in child care, and as a performing arts teacher. I grew up the oldest of three, with a neuro-typical brother and non-verbal, autistic sister. Growing up in this family structure led me into a natural care-giving path that I've been on for all of my adult life alongside my professional acting career. Since moving to New York City in 2010, I have worked for many different families. Some for one-night, some for two years. My experience ranges from 3 weeks to 13 years old. In my view, my job as a child care provider is to keep children safe and act as a team-mate alongside their grown-ups to provide loving care and support to their little ones. I'm very much a-nanny who gets on the ground and plays with the kiddos-kind of gal and would love to meet yours and see if we'd be a good fit. *Note: I am currently seeking full time hours, paid legally, on the books. I am happy to work with whichever payroll service you'd like to work with Some Relevant Experience: Part Time Nanny Girl 3.5, Boy 9 Brooklyn, NY 11/17 - 01/20 Part Time Babysitter Boy age 2, Girl Age 4 Brooklyn, NY 01/18 - 03/20 Occasional Babysitter All Ages: While it existed: Chime, by Sittercity Brooklyn and Manhattan, NY 08/13 - 05/19 Camp Counselor/Head of Performing Arts Aloha Hive Camp for girls 7-12 Fairlee, VT 06/05 - 08/19 *References available upon request after communication.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.
