Meet Jessie
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
Hi there. My name is Jessie. I graduated from UNC-Asheville in 2002 with degrees in Psychology and Reading Education. Since that time, I've accumulated over two decades of diverse experience working with young children and their families as a preschool teacher, private nanny, and Early Learning Program administrator in our community. Some of my strengths as a caregiver include open/honest communication with families, maintaining a growth-mindset, creativity/imaginative play, de-escalation, outdoor learning, and household organization. I love pets/animals, spending time outside, music, messy art, and thrive when/where I can be helpful. Ideally, I'm looking for a family or families of infant/toddler aged children to sign on with for at least one year (up to three years, if it continues to feel like an awesome fit!) who need care during my posted open schedule. I do keep my availability up to date, to help expedite the process of finding care. I'm also Read more open to some flexible scheduling on weekends and evenings, if needed. If you think I may be a great fit for your family, I'd love to connect with you to further discuss my experience and qualifications. Many super references available upon request. I hope to hear from you soon!

Jessie is the best! She is amazing with kids and has great communication with parents. Jessie started working with us full time in late 2017 when my kiddos were 2 months old and 4 years old. She stayed until we started the little one in preschool at age 3. Jessie has become part of our family. She is still our go to person for date nights! Responsible, reliable, caring, so much experience….I highly recommend her!

Jessie is the go-to babysitter for all of my Airbnb guests who request childcare— and I get five-star reviews about her every single time! I’ve also worked with Jessie many times over the years at my home daycare and truly can’t say enough good things. She’s kind, dependable, and so naturally great with kids— patient, playful, and always tuned in to what each child needs. She’s cared for little ones (ages 1–6) in my program and always brings such calm, positive energy (plus, the kids absolutely adore her!). I’d recommend her in a heartbeat for any babysitting or childcare help— she’s a genuinely wonderful person, and any kids would be lucky to spend time with her. ?— Amy

I worked directly with Jessie Phillips for several years at Shalom Children's Center in co-teaching roles for children ages 2.5 through Pre-K. Not only was Jessie highly knowledgeable about child development, but she was also very much in tune with the individual needs of each and every student in her care. She devoted her early childhood knowledge and talents to fostering and nurturing all areas of development of our students, and she was vigilant about their health and safety. I recommend Jessie as a care giver for anyone's child with all my confidence.
