Sittercity helps Solon families find the best nannies

I became a caregiver because it is what I have done most of my life. Taking care of children has been the most rewarding career for me. Being a mother of four grown children and twelve grandchildren qualifies me as a nurturing caregiver. For many years I worked in the hospitality & retail industry. As a nanny I have cared for children newborn to teenagers. I’ve cared for families with one to three children. I’ve previously been CPR certified. My flu shot is updated yearly. I have received all my Covid shots. My Internest updates my shots every 6 months,

My name is Jessica, and I’m a wife and mother of two wonderful boys. I earned my degree in Special Education from Ohio University and have extensive experience working with children from infancy through school age. I taught kindergarten for two years, worked at KinderCare for ten years, and assisted two families with pod learning during the pandemic. Currently, I’m a teacher’s assistant, seeking a less demanding role to allow more time for involvement in my children’s schooling and extracurricular activities. At KinderCare, I served as the Learning Adventures teacher, where I led small groups in subjects like math, music, reading, and phonics. I was also a Pre-K teacher for three years and floated between classrooms during my spring and summer breaks. I absolutely love working with children! Creating a structured and engaging environment that fosters developmental growth is one of my greatest joys. I have a passion for working with kids and a deep patience for navigating different personalities. Knowing I can be a listening ear or a helping hand in a child’s life is what makes my work so fulfilling.

I currently also work with the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools Program where I implement a reading curriculum, foster the love of reading and learning in my scholars and their need to make a difference. This will be my fifth summer with the program and I love it! Working with young people has made my ability to individualize the needs if each person exceptional.
