Hello my name is melissa I am 35 years old. I do not have any kids at the moment, but it's in my near future. I love children, baking and am an animal lover. I have many nieces and nephews that I have helped raise. I am reliable, compassionate and understanding. Currently working as a pastry chef with availability to work as a sitter. Gladly available to answer any questions you may have. Reference furnished upon request.

Melissa did an excellent job taking care of our six month old, while we were at an event with our toddler. We would definitely hire her again for both our six month old and 3 year old. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and asked all the right questions before we headed out the door.

Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for nine years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

On time, kind, very good with communication and understanding of our unique sitting situation. Interactive with our son and very polite. Would definitely hire again if we’re in the area. Thank you so much

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by :) I’m Jessica, a seasoned childcare provider with 15+ years of experience caring for infants through school-age children across NYC and New Jersey. I’m CPR certified for infants and children, trained in child development, and very familiar with the realities of parenting—from separation anxiety and bedtime routines to big feelings. I’m a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and previously studied fashion design at Pratt Institute. Creativity is central to who I am; I’m always drawing, sewing, or painting. I’ve taught sewing to 3rd–5th graders in after-school programs and led group childcare events through Project Playdate, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once. My experience includes infants and toddlers, children with food allergies, and those with special needs (including Autism and Cerebral Palsy). I’m patient, kind, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style. I strive to create a calm, safe, and imaginative environment where children feel seen, supported, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.
