About Jessica
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Jess & my pronouns are she/her. I'm a single mom to an 8-year-old son & an educator with my PEL in secondary ELA. I also have extensive experience teaching primary & intermediate students. I have been a care giver personally & professionally most of my life. I believe in collective care & feel most fulfilled being a part of the village it takes to nurture confident, creative, & capable children. I have 20+ years experience caring for multiples, newborns, toddlers, & kiddos of all ages. I have nannied long term for several families. I've been with my current family 4 years now, whose kids are 5 & 1. I love to integrate learning concepts through imaginative play, art, music & silliness while offering routine & firm structured support as well. My son often babysits w/ me, but I have solo availability too. I speak some Spanish & studying to learn more. I can also help with household duties i. e. light house keeping, meal prep, pet care/sitting, and tutoring.
Most recent review
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jessica as part of our family. She cared for our child with so much love, patience, and attentiveness—it was clear from day one that she truly understands kids and meets them exactly where they are. Jessica brought structure, creativity, and calm to each day, planning fun activities, supporting routines, and always showing up with a warm smile. Most importantly, we trusted her completely. Our child lit up every time she walked through the door, and that kind of bond is truly special. Any family would be lucky to have Jessica in their lives. She’s a rare gem, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!
