I am currently studying for my Nursing boards. I have graduated from Creighton University with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I have worked and volunteered for children with special need 6 years with physical and developmental disabilities in Challenge sports. I started off as a basic volunteer eventually I moved to coaches position. I have also worked 3 years at a Disabled camp as Head Counselor. I performed personal care, lifts, Gt tube feeding, and 24 hour supervision for individuals with all different kinds of disabilities. I have worked with complete care, nonverbal, Epileptic, wheel chaired, girls, boys, children- elders, and communication device using individuals. I also volunteered with Ollie Mills a organization that helped individuals with special needs learn skills socialize and adapt to the community. I love working with this population. I think that the individuals worked with changed my life forever.

    Jessica is very friendly and positive. She works extremely well with my two very different sons, one of whom is autistic and has limited verbal skills. I am impressed that she is able to handle both of them at once! Her availability is limited, but aside from that she is quite wonderful. I would recommend her strongly to anyone looking for occasional help!
