Hello! My name is Jessica and I am 33 years old. I have worked with children for about more than 17 years. I worked as a recess coach where I enjoyed recess with the children, I supervised lunch time, and I created fun games to play with the children while they were at recess. After being a recess coach, I became an assistant teacher at a daycare center in the infant room. I fed the children, changed their diapers and dirty clothes. I also helped them develop their motor skills and created new ways for their play to be stimulated. A year after, I was moved over to the two year old room where I would do circle time, give them their breakfast, lunch and snack, read them books and I would do arts and crafts with them. I would also take them out for walks and to the park Read more with my fellow teachers. At the center, I kept them on their individual schedules and I made sure they were fed and they took their naps. Recently, I have been with an amazing family with two precious little girls. I have worked for them for two years. I began working with them when their first born was turning two years old, she's three turning four right now. I was with her all day and I would make her meals, bathe her, change her, put her down for naps and sometimes bedtime. I kept her own little schedule. About 6 months ago, they had another wonderful little girl. At the beginning her mom stayed with me and taught me new ways to handle taking care of two children, although I learned a lot at the daycare center. I have learned so much from them. I learn as I go and I am a quick learner. I am an outside person; I love sports, my favorites are volleyball and soccer, and I love swimming as well. I am always looking online for arts and crafts and fun activities I do with the children. I am reliable and always on time. I am a very organized person and very determined. I do laundry and house duties. I am comfortable with all types of pets. If you would like to reach out to me please feel free to give me a call or send me a message,I'd love to hear from you!

Jessica was very polite, did a great job updating my via text on what my kids were doing and did a great job keeping my kids away from technology during her time babysitting. Would definitely recommend her!

Jessica was really sweet and clearly very experienced with childcare overall. We were in town for only a few days, but Jessica was still very helpful and trustworthy - made our trip such an amazing one.

Jessica was great! She was on time, pleasant and my (10 year old) son enjoyed her company. Would definitely use her again.
