Hello! I'm Jessica, a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with a passion for nurturing young minds and creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for children to thrive. Education and Background: With a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Business Administration from the University of New Mexico and a Master's in Public Policy and Administration from Purdue University, I bring a solid educational foundation to my childcare role. My academic achievements reflect my strong work ethic, punctuality, and enthusiasm. Experience: Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. My professional journey includes roles as an executive assistant, STEM instructor, and community organizer, providing me with a diverse skill set that extends beyond typical childcare. Passion for Learning: I believe that learning should be fun and interactive. As a STEM instructor, I've facilitated lesson plans that foster creativity, Read more critical thinking skills, and cognitive development in children. I'm dedicated to creating a stimulating and educational environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. Inclusivity and Cultural Competence: My experience with diverse communities has enriched my cultural competency and sensitivity to various backgrounds and perspectives. I understand the importance of embracing and celebrating the unique identities and experiences of each child I care for. Safety and Well-being: Above all, I prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I am well-versed in first aid and CPR, and I maintain a vigilant eye on the needs of the children to ensure their physical and emotional security. Advocacy for Children: As a community organizer passionate about educational equity and social justice, I advocate for policies that support children's well-being and access to quality education. I am committed to instilling values of empathy, inclusion, and fairness in the children I work with. Fun and Creativity: While safety and learning are paramount, I also believe in the importance of fun and creativity. Whether it's arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I strive to make every moment enjoyable and memorable for the children. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.
