About Jessica
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Jess & my pronouns are she/her. I'm a single mom to an 8-year-old son & an educator with my PEL in secondary ELA. I also have extensive experience teaching primary & intermediate students. I have been a care giver personally & professionally most of my life. I believe in collective care & feel most fulfilled being a part of the village it takes to nurture confident, creative, & capable children. I have 20+ years experience caring for multiples, newborns, toddlers, & kiddos of all ages. I have nannied long term for several families. I've been with my current family 4 years now, whose kids are 5 & 1. I love to integrate learning concepts through imaginative play, art, music & silliness while offering routine & firm structured support as well. My son often babysits w/ me, but I have solo availability too. I speak some Spanish & studying to learn more. I can also help with household duties i. e. light house keeping, meal prep, pet care/sitting, and tutoring.
Most recent review
When I was first looking for someone to help with my daughter i wanted someone we could build a relationship with and Jess has come through for us in so many ways. She has been watching my now six-year-old since she was 2 and her sister since she was born. Jess helped me transition back to work during my maternity leave, has been available to help when I needed to work late, date nights, etc. and now my daughters constantly ask when they get to hang out again with her and her son. They adore spending time with Jess and they look up to her son and consider him a good friend, too. My girls enjoy all of the imaginative and creative play that she invites and they have an amazing time every time. She has helped in so many ways it is hard to imagine our life without her; I cannot recommend her enough.
