Hello, Jess here! I traveled for four years with Cirque du Soleil in the US and in Australia, where I lived an additional two years while I completed my Masters. Covid brought on a career change and I am now employed as a K-5 ASD Teacher. Previously, I was an ESE Resource Teacher, an ESE Teacher Aide, and the Phys. Ed Program Lead for Manatee County's K-6 Summer Blast Camp. I worked as a camp counselor for 3 summers during my college years and I have many years of experience providing in-home care for 1-2 kids at a time. I've loved all of the kids I've worked with and I will care for your children the same way I cared for them - with respect, a positive attitude and an open-mind. I am passionate about sports and music, and I love photography and pets (I have had many of my own over the years). I'm sure with my many interests and my extensive travel resume, your kid(s) and I will have plenty in common. I look forward to hearing from you!
