I truly love educating and caring for children. This has been my passion from the time that I myself was very young. I've been working with children between the ages of 3 to 12 for the last six years.

From 2009-2011 I lived with a family and worked full-time watching two adopted girls (who were then 4 and 8 years old), with whom I am still very close and they are an important part of my life. Currently, I still periodically babysit these girls when their mother works nights or during the weekend at Children's Hospital.

As part of my duties, I have done light house-keeping, cooking for the family and children, helping with homework, playing indoors as well as outside and going on excursions, developing arts and crafts/science/treasure hunt projects, giving and assisting with baths, reading books, and putting the girls to bed.

In addition, the girls frequently have friends and neighborhood children over to play, and I am perfectly fine with and capable when it comes to watching groups of children.

Besides nannying, I am also studying for my Masters in Education Leadership at Saint Mary's University one night a week, and on Saturday morning (as of March-April, 2012). Additionally, I have my BA degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

My other interests include: skating, cycling, and movies. Since I came to the U.S. I have also become a football and hockey fan.

The three adjectives that best describe me are: good-hearted, cheerful, and caring.

Again, I am available to work Saturday afternoons and evenings, and Sunday-Friday anywhere from 7 a.m. - 6+ p.m. (the exception being Wednesdays, March-April, when I could work from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.). I have my own new car (Rondo Kia), am fully insured with a good driving record, and I live in downtown Minneapolis.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! :o)

Looking forward to hearing from you, soon.

Jessica
