About Jessica

My name is Jessica L and I am currently in my final semester of college. Growing up my mom owned a daycare, meaning I have been lucky to be around children of all ages my entire life. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. When I was in high school I taught dance and gymnastics to children newborn to 12 years old at The Little Gym in West Des Moines. Shortly after graduating I was a full-time nanny for a 9-year-old girl while her parents were out of the state for a period of four months. I would take her to her dance classes, play dates and I was responsible for homeschooling her. We would go to the pool, the movies, make-up our own dances and have movie nights. After that I was fortunate enough to work for multiple families ranging from adorable new borns and toddlers to driving anxiety teens to all of their fun sports. Additionally, I taught the youth program at my church for 2nd-6th graders, where I would be responsible for up to 18 kids at a time.
