The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a safe, nurturing, and trusting relationship with both the child and the family. It means being dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs emotionally, physically, and developmentally. A great nanny supports a child’s growth, fosters a positive environment, and becomes a consistent, loving presence in their daily life

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny is when a family fully trusts me with the care and well-being of their children and welcomes me as part of their family even after my time with them has come to an end.

Jolene M. - Seeking Work in Jamaica

Babysitter Available in Jamaica, NY: Jolene M.

Hi, I’m Jolene! I’m 22 years old and have been working in childcare—babysitting and nannying—since I was 19.

I grew up as an only child, which naturally made me gravitate toward caring for younger children. From spending time with my cousins to eventually working with multiple families, I’ve built several years of hands-on experience with babies and children of different ages.

I genuinely enjoy creating a positive, engaging environment for kids. I love incorporating activities like reading, creative play, music, and even outings such as museums or classes when appropriate. I’m naturally curious and love learning, and I bring that same energy into the way I interact with children.

I believe childcare is about more than supervision—it’s about connection, patience, and helping children grow while also learning from them along the way.

I’m excited to find a family I can support and build a strong, trusting relationship with—my next “second family.”

Hello, my name is Jessica Cecilia Bueno. I am perfectly fine with nicknames such as Jess or Jessie, whatever is to your liking. I graduated high school in May of 2024 and I am 19 years old. I was born in New York and my family is from Honduras so speaking both English and Spanish fluently is no problem for me. Growing up I had to raise a good amount of nieces and nephews–one specifically with special needs, so I am good with accommodating a child's needs. I put in my profile that I had no experience because I had never officially been hired as a nanny.
