About Jessica

I've been working with & caring for children for over a decade. It's work that I genuinely love. I was a teacher with the City of Portland for 8 years. I left my career to continue school. I excel at: fostering a love of learning & exploration, supporting social & emotional development, providing a safe & nurturing environment, encouraging inclusivity & celebrating diversity, and encouraging kids to advocate for themselves (preferences, boundaries, etc.) I'm fully vaccinated/boostered, infant/child/adult CPR & first aid certified. I'm college educated, have a food handlers card, have my own reliable vehicle & a spotless driving record. I'm reliable, warm, honest & outgoing. I'm kind, creative & fun. My free time is spent doing arts & crafts and relaxing with my dogs, Banjo & Bruno. Please let me know if you have any questions!
