Hi, I’m Maria! NYC-based childcare provider with 10+ years of experience across the city. I specialize in calm, reliable evening care; bedtime routines, quiet nights in, and making sure parents actually enjoy their time out without worrying. Available for date nights and occasional sits: • Tuesday & Wednesday evenings • Some Thursday & Monday evenings • Weekend evenings by request (not same day) I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistency. Families I work with know they can count on me. Let’s connect! 🌿

Maria is such a pleasant person, my children ages 10, and 8 feel safe in her care. They always request for her return. I admire how my 11 month old also gravitates to her. She shows patience kindness and understanding with the children and I will highly recommend her to family and friends that’s in need of a sitter.

Booked by 17 families in Jersey City, NJ

Hi, My name is Yulia! I moved to New York in 2020, shortly after graduating from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in psychology and focus in child development. In high school, I began volunteering with a therapeutic horsemanship for children with cognitive, developmental, and learning disabilities. This is where I developed my passion for caring for children and studying human development. I have over fifteen years of experience, including babysitting for multiple families, nannying, completing my capstone practicum as a pre-school aid, and most recently working as a behavior technician for children on the Autism Spectrum. I currently work at a medical communications agency, and I have found myself with some extra time in the evenings and on the weekends. I find children to be very entertaining and energizing and genuinely enjoy getting to know each of their personalities! I especially love being a part of their learning journey and helping them navigate new challenges in school and in life! I look forward to meeting you and your kidos!

Yulia was great - punctual and reliable and knew what she was doing. We used her for date night while our baby was asleep.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 113 families in Jersey City, NJ

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.

Jessica was great. We would use her again.
