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 families! My name is Natasha, and I recently graduated from Bank Street College of Education with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I have experience working as a preschool teacher, nanny, babysitter, and in after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and needs, including school pickup/drop-off, evening care, overnight care, and weekend babysitting. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including autism, sensory processing differences, and deafblindness. My background in early childhood and special education helps me create a patient, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel safe and encouraged to grow. I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, sensory activities, and outdoor adventures. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching their confidence, creativity, and curiosity grow as they learn about the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, building Legos, and visiting museums. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Natasha arrived on time and enthusiastic to care for our son. She kept him entertained with many activities and stuck to his daily schedule. She sent updates during the day to keep us reassured. Would definitely book her again!”

Booked by 14 families in Richmond Hill, NY

Hi, my name is Crystal! I have a bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Family Therapy. Childcare has been my primary profession for the past 10+ years. I have experience with children of all ages but have mostly worked with 1-8 year olds. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I make a great sitter because I am very observant of each child’s individual needs. I always make sure to ask parents about their parenting style, rules, and expectations so I can remain consistent with how they raise their children. I also prioritize communication with parents and guardians. I am warm, energetic, creative, and pay great attention to detail. Kids always love how silly I am with them, and I make sure that we have a great time. Despite my playful approach, I make sure children follow their parents’ rules and expectations.
