Meet Jesse
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I am currently working as a mental health therapist for adults, and am available for childcare on evenings and weekends. I have the most experience with infants through early elementary school age. What I most enjoy about spending time with children is how they bring me to engagement with the present moment, and witnessing how their curious, eager minds develop and interact with the world. I love spending time outside whenever possible, and enjoy indoor activities such as reading books, crafting, or playing with Legos. I have 15 years of paid experience working with children including working as a nanny and a Paraeducator in public schools. Because of my varied positions, I am skilled in a crisis, can help children navigate emotional challenges, and offer a sense of safety while encouraging playful expression.

Jesse was our child's nanny and then babysitter from the ages of 6mo to 8yrs. He was amazing with our child, highly reliable and a great problem-solver. I cannot more highly recommend him for babysitting.

I first met Jesse when he was nannying for a friend. My friend was very happy with Jesse and their kiddo was too -- for a couple of years that was the status -- he was the nanny of a friend child. I was around him on and off and really liked him. When my friend asked if I might be interested in a nanny share with their family with Jesse as the nanny, I pretty much tripped over myself to say yes. I had no regrets. I trusted him completely and my kids loved him. I highly recommend him.

Jesse is a kind and empathetic caregiver. He has taken excellent care of my kiddo on a number of occasions and I look forward to my next night out knowing my little one is in good hands!

Jesse is one of the kindest and most patient people we know. He watched our son as an infant until he went to preschool, then additional times thereafter in the evenings and weekends. His communication with us was always consistent and clear. We always felt assured our son was happy and well cared for when we would get home. He would send pictures from their adventures to parks or play time at home. I loved that Jesse always made it a priority to get outside. Since that time with our son, Jesse has graduated with a counseling degree. He is truly a caregiver at heart, dedicated to supporting others. We would happily recommend him to anyone with childcare needs.

My partner and I trusted Jesse to be our baby’s very first sitter. Jesse learned our bedtime routine, comforted our baby through teething and was a safe, caring, very trustworthy adult. I 100% recommend Jesse. He’s a gentle, warm and creative person who connects so well with little ones. I’m so grateful we had someone we could trust with our kiddo! Jesse is the best!
