Hi families! My name is Jessica. I have been working with kids for over 10 years. I also have two kids of my own, ages 6 and 2 (the 6yr old is an extremely picky eater so I have extra experience with that!) I have always had a passion for the childcare industry. I never feel like it’s “work” when I love what I do. I have experience with kids of all ages, but I would say the toddler years are my favorite. I went to school for ECE. I am CPR certified. My most recent experience is nannying full time with a family for over 6 years. Before that I worked at a daycare and nannied/babysat for multiple other families.
