Hello there! I'm Jessica, and I'm a 29 year old full time social worker. I have worked in school-based settings with children for 2 years, and have recently started a role as a full time elementary school social worker working with children ages 5-10. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have experience working with children with special needs (autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, etc.), as well as passing medications. I am trained in Positive Behavior Supports, and this informs my limit setting approach with children. I have been babysitting off and on since I was 12 years old, and have experience sitting for a broad array of age groups with up to three children at the same time. I have a reliable 2012 Honda Fit, and am willing to take your children to appointments, the beach, or other fun activities outside the house if that is what you Read more are looking for! I am also willing to do light housekeeping and laundry as well as meal prep/cooking, however as a vegetarian I am not comfortable preparing meat.
