< 1 mi

My name is Jennifer, and I'm a wife and mother of a 6 year old son! We have lived in Rocklin for a little over 2 years and we absolutely love it! I'm an active, stay at home mom, that loves kids and understands how busy our schedules can get. I enjoy going to the gym, being outdoors, reading, and being creative with crafts while being at home with my son after school. The care that I would love to offer is a fun day filled with outdoor walks, trips to the gym, park dates, and dropping off and picking up my son. If you're ok with your little one being my side kick for the day, this would be a great fit! Feel free to contact me directly, and ask as many questions as you would like. Have a great day! Jenn

31303 Santa Rita Way Union City, CA

My name is Koressa and I was born and raised in San Jose, CA. I've lived in the union city area with my husband for 5 years and we have a handsome 1 year old son who we enjoy dearly. Growing up I have always known I wanted to work with children. I have been working with children of all ages in a variety of settings for over 14 years. I began babysitting at the young age of 15, was part of the teaching academy back in high school, taught gymnastics and motor skill development, nannied, tutored, and have been a preschool and infant/toddler teacher for the past 7 years. I have an early childhood development degree as well as health/safety and CPR/first aid certified. I am currently 30 years old and have realized that this business is what makes me who I am. After working with kids for so many years I understand that kids come into the world with a blank slate. I believe that the experiences, environment and the people around them is what shapes them into who they are. I feel it is my responsibility as a parent and teacher to provide children with the most love, knowledge and positive choices so that they can grow to their maximum potential. I enjoy being around children because of their creativity, imagination, and love for life. Currently I have openings for children between the ages of 0-2. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

Koressa X. says "Amazing! She is everything you are looking for in a child care provider loving, fun, clean, and the only person I would ever trust leaving my kids with!"
