Hello there! My name is Jessica, a local from the San Jose area. I am very proud to announce that I am now serving our South Bay community as a full-time or part-time babysitter. This will be my first experience finding families on-line to care for via Sittercity, but don't fret--you have come to the right profile! So, what have you accomplished? Plans for the future? I started my very first job as a babysitter at the age of 13. From there, I began my second job at Walgreens beginning my sophomore year of high school and I stayed with the company for 5 consecutive years, working my way up from a service clerk to a pharmacy technician. It was during and before this time period where I received much of my babysitting experience. Currently, I am a part-time student and a part-time employee as the assistant distance coach for Read more the cross-country and track & field teams at De Anza College (I also competed for De Anza for two years, and earned several athletic awards: Coast Conference Champion, Coast Conference Champion Runner-Up, Athlete of the Year, Most Valuable Player, Most Improved, Team Captain, State Qualifier, and I placed in the Top 4 in several events,). My initial intentions were to go to school to become a pharmacist, but after much thought, I decided to let my gift and love shine through and major in Kinesiology and Nutrition, and to enhance the lives of children. To further enhance my credentials, I am just one test away (of several) to becoming a certified personal trainer. I would like to pick up again from my past 8 years of experience, and integrate what I have learned from psychology and child development classes. I plan on owning my very own daycare center, in which we emphasis physical activity, creativity, academics (sciences and the arts), emotional intelligence, and development of each child's unique Element.

Jessica goes out of her way to make sure she can watch my daughter when I need someone even on absolute last minute notice. She is great with our little one takes her to the park all the time and most of the time my daughter doesn't want to see her leave.

Jessica is a fantastic babysitter with a sweet and gentle disposition!I have had my fair share, and no one has made our children happier. She's constantly engaging them with indoor activities and trips to our local park. Jessica cared for our three sons for only a week's worth of time, but I know they have made a friend for life. My youngest cries for her to come back! We would hire her again in a heartbeat.
