I'm Jess, a potty-training coach, and writer, who's looking for occasional/temporary childcare gigs as I work on a book and my business. I've been a caregiver since I was a kid myself, and spent over two decades in childcare in some capacity; babysitting, tutoring, nannying, potty and sleep training, parent coaching, and household management. I have worked with children ranging from newborn to teenagers, multiples and I specialize in special needs children. I have worked with children with ADHD/ADD, Autism (verbal and non-verbal), Cerebral Palsy, developmental delays and childhood Schizophrenia as well as with a child with severe allergies and celiac disease. I'm adept at adapting to different children's needs, and my genuine love and passion for kids makes me a fun and engaging sitter. I tout vibrant hair colors to match my bubbly personality which resonates with kids of all ages. I love games and activities, encouraging children to Read more utilize their imaginations, crafts, playground time, and reading books. I come from a long line of educators and caregivers who embedded in me a commitment to working with children and helping families. I'm well-versed in meal preparation, transporting children around the city via public transportation, walking and car, managing busy city family schedules, and homework help. I hold a degree in Writing & Lit from Columbia University. You can find several 5 star reviews here on Sittercity. I have references as well. After living nomadically for nearly three years with my rescue pup in tow, I'm currently working on my memoir and I just launched a potty training consulting/coaching business for a 3-day potty training method. I can show you 5-star reviews on my Google business page, and I have plenty of references. I look forward to working with you and your kiddos!

Jessica is absolutely amazing. She is lovely, energetic and kind. Kids always have so much fun with her and ask to have her babysit more and more. She is very knowledgeable and has enormous stories that kids love to listen to. She is very reliable. I would rate her more than 5 stars if I could.

Jessica is an very special person. She was super easy to meet and learn more about. Maturity, thoughtful, thorough, and fun come to mind as I think about her. And a happy soul. My daughter really took to her natural ability to connect with genuine curiosity and kindness. Although we only called upon Jessica’s care giving once, we definitely intend to do so again soon. She is a co-parent’s lighthouse!

I would give 100 stars if I could! Jess is fantastic! We recently moved from Amsterdam and she understood our nerves with finding a nanny in NYC and made me feel comfortable from the very first moment. Jess is flexible, communicative, fun, bubbly and very pro-active. She found a public library reading for toddlers around the corner of my house when I told her I thought my daughter misses playing with other kids. My daughter speaks a few words, one of which is JESS!
