Hi! My name is Jess, I'm 32, and I've been providing childcare for over 10 years. Along with babysitting and nannying, I've also worked in day cares and preschools. With 7 younger siblings, there has never been a shortage of children around me. I also welcomed my own little one in 2016. In my opinion, the most important qualities a nanny should have are patience and the ability to get goofy! Caring for children can be exhausting work but with a good attitude and the right amount of work and play, it's the most rewarding job there is! Over the years I've built an awesome network of parents and fellow nannies, so I have plenty of references available! Some of my qualifications include CPR/First Aid training and MAT (medication administration training) certifications. My typical nanny duties in the past have included meal prep, lesson planning, and scheduling outings! I also Read more teach infant/toddler sign language. I'm looking to meet families interested in joining a nanny share hosted in Springfield.

Jess is awesome!! She fed my kids dinner, played with them and even helped them clean up the basement. My girls can be a bit picky when it comes to sitters but they both raved about Jess and asked when she is coming back. A++!

Jessica was sweet and had a good way with both my infant son and my 4 year old twins. She knew what needed to be done next and did it. I appreciated all her help.

Jessica is great! Anyone who can handle one-year-old twins at bedtime is a pro. She even did some extra things around the house. Would love to have her back!

Jessica arrived a few minutes early and quickly built a rapport with my two kids. She got them to eat their food quickly (which i can't seem to do), and then played games, did crafts, and read books with them before getting them ready for bed. Both kids, 3 and 6 years old, said they really liked Jessica. I'd book her again!
