My name is Jessica/Jessie and I love children. Rest assured, I am Adult, Child and Infant, Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid Certified. I have experience with children and adults who have special needs. Experienced with infants, toddlers, and grade school children. Currently, I am an occasional sitter for multiple families. I drive a reliable 2021 Subaru Forester, and have a clean driving record. Organized and experienced, I enjoy making the time I’m there enjoyable for everyone. From climbing the tree in the yard together to homework help, and meal prep, it will be done. I’m classically trained, I play the viola and drums. So I love bringing various instruments such as hand drums, small tambourine, and maracas for the children to enjoy. I bring a mini speaker and encourage dance, exercise and self expression. It’s been amazing to me, how much I’ve observed how music really helps the children use Read more their imaginations! I’ll bring lots of other activities like a craft, coloring books,markers,matching games, a variety of balls are always with me, to share with your children. Additional sports equipment, and soccer nets are also available upon request and are all included in my rate. I’m looking forward to finding more families to build a relationship with. Childcare is something that comes really natural for me, this is one of the reasons I love it so much. Looking forward to speaking with you soon. Several recent references available upon request.

Jessie was wonderful and I would highly recommend her! Jessie was so communicative and made us feel very safe and secure when she was with our children (2 and 7) during a vacation date night. She brought toys and games and made sure our kids had a great time! We will absolutely be using her services again the night time we visit the Hamptons!

Jessica babysat our five month old daughter for 8 hours while we were in town for a wedding. It was our first time hiring a babysitter and we were quite nervous. Jessica was available before the day for a quick interview and provided references. She was communicative and confident and put our minds at ease. The night of, she updated us on how our daughter was doing at a good cadence and it sounded like they had a great time together. When we came home, our daughter was peacefully asleep. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a young child.

We had to travel from MN to NY for my sisters wedding. It was imperative that we find a sitter we could trust to watch our girls, ages 8 and 3. Jessica was fantastic, well prepared, and our girls loved spending time with her. Highly recommend Jessica.

Jessica was fantastic! She did a great job in a unique situation. We had a small family wedding in our backyard and Jessica helped (along with another sitter) watch 4 children ages 5mo-3yo. She kept the children entertained and even brought some activities for them to play with. There seemed to be some misunderstanding with payment, but that can easily be cleared up by putting it in writing ahead of time. We used Jessica two nights in a row and we would hire her again.
