Hi, I'm Sydney! I moved to NYC to be an actor and found myself working in several settings with children, including performing in the Bluey X CAMP experience downtown and acting as costume designer/childcare assistant for 3 shows with the Children's Acting Academy. I have several years of experience providing childcare for ages 0-13, and would love to get to know you and your little ones. Because of my background in theatre, I have all kinds of ideas on ways to have fun! I'm also happy to help around the house in any way you may need.
“Sydney was punctual, easy to communicate with and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again ”
Hello, my name is Jacqueline (but I usually go by my nickname Tula), I’m 23 and a recent graduate of Wellesley College. I have over 8 years of babysitting experience in NYC, as well as some in the Boston area, watching children from three months to thirteen years old. I have three younger siblings and have spent much of my time at home watching them. I’m very familiar with babies and younger kids, especially babysitting multiple children at a time. I’ve taken an online Red Cross babysitting and first aid certification course as well as first aid programs through Boy Scouts that I completed to earn Eagle Scout. Thank you for your consideration!
“Jacqueline was wonderful with our toddler son. She played and read to him and entertained him for several hours. She is extremely patient and sweet with kids! ”

As a mom of two myself, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a nurturing environment. I am reliable, organized, and always make sure kids are engaged and safe. whether that's helping with homework, playing games, or simply giving them attention they need. Parents can count on me to be punctual, trustworthy, and flexible. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. my goal is to not just "watch" children but to care for them as if they were my own. Keep them safe, happy and supported.
