Hi, I’m Andri! I’ve lived in NYC for 9 years and have over 10 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked with many private families throughout NYC and have experience with both daytime and evening care. I’m kind, caring, dependable, and energetic. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outdoor activities, games, arts and crafts, reading, and age-appropriate activities. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and helping families keep their children’s routines organized. Childcare has been a big part of my life since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong relationships with the families I work with. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, communicate with, and feel comfortable having in their home. I’m currently looking for occasional, part-time and I’m happy to help with date nights, weekends, evenings, and other childcare needs.
“Super professional! Kept in touch with us, asked about allergies and any safety concerns… She’s definitely on top of things, and my daughter loved hanging out with her and even went to sleep smoothly with her as well! We will be booking her throughout the rest of our stay in nyc!”
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. ”
With over a decade of experience in diverse household settings, I bring a versatile, positive approach to childcare. My background in social work and psychology, combined with extensive hands-on experience, allows me to understand and support all stages of childhood development. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments that foster children's potential and imagination. In the kitchen, I love involving kids as my little sous chefs, preparing nutritious meals and snacks that cater to all ages and palates. My culinary expertise spans various cuisines, with a special fondness for Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern flavors. Beyond childcare, I'm a certified doula and completed The Aura Institute's Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner training in 2023. This expertise allows me to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, focusing on holistic wellness and empowerment. As a certified yoga teacher, I bring a calm, balanced approach to my work, adapting to each family's unique needs and routines.

Hello! My name is Shelley - I’m an experienced sitter/nanny and communications professional with a master’s in creative writing from Oxford.

I've been involved in childcare from a very young age, including as a daytime nanny when I was working as an actress full-time, and an evening and weekends babysitter throughout college and beyond. I have experience with all ages, from infants to teens, and I have frequently worked with multiple children. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
Hello NYC (and traveling) Families, I have 17+ years of childcare experience, including several years working in NYC charter schools. I am currently attending graduate school full-time. I'm CPR/AED and First Aid certified and up to date on all immunizations. What I love most about childcare is helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and discover their interests. In my free time, I enjoy reading, trying new restaurants, hiking, and traveling. If you have any questions, feel free to message me or schedule a FaceTime. Happy to connect! :)
