About Jessica
Experience: 10 yrs
I have tons of experience! I have been a lead teacher in a classroom of 2yo, infants, preschoolers & summer/after-school programs. In these classroom settings, I was responsible for creating an age appropriate curriculum and safe learning environments. I also have a ton of infant and toddler experience and I have also nannied, both long & short-term. I have many families I work for and have known for many years. I like to teach through fun and creative art, science & nature activities- & lots of reading! I believe in allowing children to learn through free play while being active in encouraging exploration and imaginative play. I know the importance of trying to maintain a schedule & I feel that communication between parents and caregivers is necessary for keeping consistency and important in creating trusting bonds with children, their family & their community. I also clean houses & have housekeeping exp! I enjoy helping my community in whatever ways I can to raise our future gen!
Most recent review
Jess cared for our child from the time I went back to work, when our baby was 7 months old. I went back to work at this time and had anxiety surrounding leaving our child with a caregiver. Jess has a calming presence and experience that quelled all of my anxieties. She was able to easily get him down for naps, and provided lots of guidance to us as new parents. Jess became a large part of our family and our baby loved her. She was creative with new activities and took time to help clean, organize, and has a good intuition for what children need. I always felt comfortable and confident leaving for work. We would highly recommend Jess to any family lucky enough to hire her!
