I’m passionate about working with children and connect easily with kids of all ages. Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I enjoy gardening, cooking, and outdoor activities, creating fun, enriching experiences for young ones.
“Sahar was amazing with both my 2 month old and my 18 month old sons. I really appreciated how she was eager to help in any way she could and offered to help me sweep and cook dinner. She was incredible with my older son who is usually very clingy and only typically lets me take care of him when he’s sick. She was so creative with playing with him and both my kids and I loved really her friendly, sweet and positive personality ”
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. ”
Hi! My name is Tess and I am a student at Fordham University. I am offering babysitting, pet care and household chore services. I have been a babysitter since I was twelve, starting as a mother's helper and onwards from there. My responsibilities included driving to and from school, helping with homework, sports and activites, putting the kiddos to bed, and overall general home care. I have worked with ages 1-14, as a babysitter, camp counselor and nanny. As a sociology major, I hope to start a career in early education! I am happy to help with any animals, as a cat and dog lover myself. I'm currently working with a range of ages, from 1-14 but am happy to help with younger or older.
“We are so happy we found Tess, she inspired confidence from our first interview. I was nervous about finding a sitter for my 10 month old but now I look forward to her playtime with Tess while I’m in class. She’s been super punctual, flexible, and professional- best of all she seems to click with our baby, who is always happy at pick up time! ”
