Experience: 9 yrs
As a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, I have over nine years of experience caring for children of all ages as well as children with disabilities. In my role as a caregiver for the O family which had two children, one being a newborn and the other a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with autism, I have learned to manage the diverse needs of children in different stages of development. I often am in charge of preparing the children's meals, monitoring their hygiene and giving the baby a bath, taking them out on walks, outings to the park and getting them ready for bed. During the day, we often play games, and read books. I am committed to providing safe, nurturing, and educational environments for children in my care. I have spent two years volunteering at Reading Partners as a reading tutor for under-resourced schools. I love helping children improve their reading skills and helping them with their homework. I received my PhD from the University of Oklahoma in Cognitive Psychology.
I'm very grateful we found Jessica. She is calm, responsible and organized. My 9-year old special needs child responds well to Jessica because of the patience and gentleness she exudes even when she's getting things done like moving him to bed and getting him off his screen . She makes me feel like she wants to take care of things for me.--what parent doesn't want that? I highly recommend her.
