About Jessica

I started informally caring for children at the young age of 11. I started volunteering in my church's nursery and babysitting for families in my neighborhood. I was the second oldest in my family of five children and was regularly put on baby-sitting duty. At the age of 15, my mom had the youngest child in our family, giving me hands-on experience with caring for infants. Over the past 10 years, I have diversified my child care experience. I have worked with children from many different backgrounds as well as worked with children in many different environments, i. e.: adopted children, refugee children, children with anger management, orphans in third-world countries, premature infants, and children with learning disabilities. I am passionate about child care and believe that their well-being in the developmental stages in life are necessary for a bright and optimistic future. I desire for all children to receive the type of care that I was fortunate enough to have growing up in a loving and nurturing environment.
