I recently moved to Highland Park and will be starting my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Rutgers (New Brunswick) this September. At the moment, I am only looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Before moving to NJ this summer, I lived in New York City for five years while completing my master’s degree at Columbia University and working in the field of youth mental health. My education in Clinical Psychology, along with my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Child Development from UC Davis, has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and children’s needs. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages in a variety of settings. I’ve had numerous part-time nanny and babysitting jobs with children ranging from newborns to 15 years old. I also worked as a camp counselor for many years and as a math and reading tutor. I’m happy to help with homework, tutoring, and even college applications. I am reliable, extremely empathetic, kind, and funny, and I easily connect with kids to create a fun and safe environment. Lastly, I am a big animal lover and am open to pet sitting jobs as well!
“Wonderful, responsible, and kind. Hope we can work with her again. ”

Hi! My name is Jackie and I have my teaching degree from SUNY Cortland and am certified in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education. I'm currently pursuing my masters in Early Childhood Literacy from LIU. I'm looking for a fulfilling role as a nanny and to help children grow and prosper! I am very active and love to do activities such as crafts, sports, games, and whatever else their interests are. I have many years of experience with kids from having worked in schools, a daycare, and babysitting from a young age. My most recent role was in a primary school so my heart loves the little ones, but I really enjoy all ages! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out :)
