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!

We hired Jess for a full day - she was immediately a hit with our kids who enjoyed having her all day long. She was ready to play and engage with them, even taking them out to the park. The house was so in order when we returned as well. Would hire her again!
