Hello! I'm a mom of a sweet 2. 5-year-old. I'd describe my personality as goofy, artistic, and thrifty! I like working with kids because I love watching every little new thing they learn day to day. They're so sweet and funny and innocent even when they're causing a ruckus! I'm looking for a job that focuses on screen-free, play-based childhood and is open to including my own toddler in my regular shifts. In my spare time, I like to tend to my garden, read and listen to books, go thrifting, make art, drink coffee, and play cozy video games. And obviously I adore hanging out with my family and friends, too. One thing you should know about me is I'm a goofy mom, but I'm very serious about keeping screens away from kids. Kids are meant to be discovering the world around them through play as they develop, and I want to help facilitate that. My skills include redirection, cooking healthy meals with whole foods, and entertaining kids without screens.
Jess has been an absolute gift to our family. We hired her in June when Noah was around three months old, and she has cared for him through all of the most important stages of his first year. We couldn’t have asked for a better fit for our home. She brought calm, confidence, and so much genuine love into our day to day. Working from home, we could hear Noah laughing and babbling with her throughout the day. That gave us peace of mind and let us focus on work without ever worrying about the quality of care he was getting. She balanced structure and play perfectly and always paid close attention to his development, routines, and personality. Jess instantly became a trusted part of our little world. She was reliable, communicative, patient, and so gentle with Noah. He lit up every morning when she arrived. As parents, that meant everything. Our move and change in childcare needs are the only reasons we aren’t continuing with her. If we weren’t relocating and shifting to daycare, we’d keep her as long as she’d have us. Any family would be lucky to have her. We recommend her without hesitation.
