I am a very positive and upbeat person, and truly realize the impact I have on the children I care for. I am also very respectful & will follow any schedule or rules that you have set. I am an animal lover and am comfortable around any pets you may have. Please contact me for your childcare needs. Thank you!

We are from out of town and needed a sitter while we attended a wedding. Courtney was awesome-our kiddos really enjoyed her, she was communicative and flexible when our schedule didn’t go to plan. We would highly recommend her!

We have been incredibly fortunate to have Maria (Belen) caring for our (now) 18 month old daughter since October 2025. As working parents who commute, trusting someone with our child’s safety is everything, and she has always given us complete peace of mind. Belen is so kind, playful, empathetic and intuitive. My daughter loves Belen and loves blowing bubbles with her along with reading, dancing, singing and coloring. Belen ensures her play area is clean and my daughter is well fed. She is very attentive to safety and to my daughter's well-being/health. She has never missed a day and always communicates in advance about any schedule changes, which we greatly appreciate. She is also very loving toward our senior dog and brings warmth and positivity into our home each day. We are truly thankful for her care, reliability, and friendship, and any family would be lucky to have her.

I can’t recommend Jennifer’s childcare service enough. From the time my daughter was a newborn through 6 months old, she has been in the most caring and capable hands. Jennifer is incredibly helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure both baby and parents feel comfortable and supported. She is consistently communicative, keeping me updated throughout the day and always making herself available for questions or check-ins. Most importantly, she is someone I completely trust, something that is priceless when it comes to your child. Knowing my baby is safe, happy, and well cared for has given me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she provides every single day.

Hi! My name is Jennifer Casey. I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in education and have been teaching for 9 years. I have had the opportunity to babysit for families from birth until the children were old enough to drive. I have recently been able to witness my first kid (now grown up) get married this past July! I look forward to hearing from you and working with your child/ren. When babysitting, I enjoy being interactive with the children whether that’s taking them outside in the backyard or to a nearby park, making arts and crafts for an upcoming holiday or simply just reading.

Hello! I recently moved out of New York City leaving my job in childcare (ages prek-8th) of 3 years. Now I am back in school, training to become a Pilates teacher and generally have a flexible schedule. I loved working with the kids, and the emotional reward of impacting their small lives. In addition to my professional experience in childcare, I also have always had young kids in my family to look after. I want to be a mom myself one day, but until then, I will pour my love, nurture, and attention to others. Thank you for your consideration!

Kelly has been and is currently our sitter of choice for the past 9 years! She started with us when my younger son was an infant and my oldest was a toddler. My kids loved her from the start. She was very engaging with them and kept them occupied by playing games or reading stories etc. She always made them feel safe and cared for. As a parent what I loved most, was at the end of the evening, we would get a full report of the nights event from Kelly. We could tell she really knew our kids. Kelly is hands down the most reliable, responsible and hard working babysitter I know! She never hesitated to reach out if there was a question or concern, but also was mature enough to handle situations on her own and totally appropriately. My husband and I trust her completely with our two sons and our dog which she pets sits for while we are away. We never worry when Kelly is with our kids or taking care of our dog and home. We feel truly blessed to have met Kelly many years ago and welcomed her into our lives. We really can't rave enough about the quality individual she is!
