I am a mental health therapist (LCSW) looking for part time/date night/weekends jobs to supplement my income and connect me back to the joyous work of supporting youth. I am adventurous, empathetic, responsible, and proactive. I am 30 years old and have been working with kids and pets since I was probably about 14. I have worked as an after-school nanny, completing school pickups and activities, as well as a babysitter fo a variety of ages. I worked as a mother’s-helper for a mother who had twins, supporting her with household cleaning and meals, as well as taking care of her 3 year old daughter. Previously, I worked as a behavior therapist for kids with autism and as a paraprofessional in an elementary school for kids with behavioral and developmental disabilities. Last, my most fun position was as an adventure camp counselor leading kids on various outdoor activities and camping trips. I have a lot of experience! In my free time (and if I can overlap it with work) I love to spend my time outdoors snowboarding, hiking, camping, biking, hanging in the park or walking my dog. I'm very active and love to stay busy and aim to encourage play, adventure and calm in the kiddos I work with. I also have lots of experience caring for dogs (and cats a little). Currently, I have a 7.5 year old german shephard/husky mutt and have dog-sat for many people. Last, I have a reliable car that I don't mind driving kids in to and from activities. Look forward to connecting!

Zoe was great!

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I’m a devoted mother of two—now young adults who have recently graduated high school. With over five years of professional nanny experience and nearly two decades of hands-on parenting, childcare has always been a central and deeply fulfilling part of my life. Originally, I studied to become an elementary school teacher, but I chose a more personal path—volunteering in my children’s classrooms and offering after-school care for neighborhood families. This experience naturally led me into professional nannying, where I’ve had the joy of caring for children across a variety of ages and stages. My experience includes working with: • A family of three children all under the age of six, • A family with two children under five, and • A sweet newborn, whom I cared for from 3 to 12 months old. I bring a calm, nurturing presence, a deep understanding of child development, and a true passion for supporting children as they grow and learn. I aim to create a safe, creative, and loving environment where kids feel encouraged and supported every day. I look forward to finding a family I can grow with and support in a meaningful way!

We hired Jessica to take care of our 6 month old son over a year and a half ago. It was a tough transition for me but Jessica always sent me pictures, let me know what was going on throughout the day and always makes it easy for me to come in and out throughout the day for a hug (I work from home). From day one she has been warm, loving, responsive to our son’s needs and our requests, flexible and always up for an adventure. She finds a way to make everything a learning opportunity for our son and is very in tune with childhood development. She is very clean and helped keep the kids stuff organized and kitchen clean throughout the day. Jessica has a very calming and warm demeanor, both of my kids (I have an older son who is 6) love being around her. We loved that she was able to bring our son to activities, pick up our older son from school and we always feel they are safe and cared for when with her. She is very observant and great at understanding what our kids need and when. She is also very patient and rolls with the punches, especially when things get crazy with two young kids and two working parents. She has become a friend and an extension of our family, I am so sad to be losing her support and care in our home. Any family would be lucky to have her and we will miss her daily presence. My baby is headed to pre-school otherwise we wouldn’t be letting her go! We highly recommend Jessica and I am happy to be contacted for more information if helpful.

Hi there! I'm Leah. I'm a homeschooling mom of three kids. Their ages are 13, 10, and 5. I'm typically at home or out with my kiddos and would be happy to invite another child or two into our week! My kids and I enjoy reading great books aloud together, being out in nature, and going on trips to places such as the children's museum, the zoo, and our local library.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
