A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jess. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Dual Masters' Degrees in Literacy Education and Special Education.

After 7 years of teaching Kindergarten in New York, I moved to Colorado and began my 3 years of nannying experience. I have provided care for babies from 2 to 10 months, as well as for children as old as 9.

My boyfriend and I have just relocated to Helena and I am eager to meet some lovely families and kiddos. :)

My favorite part of working with kids is the energy and love that they put into the world. I think it is a blessing to be able to guide and advocate for little people. Also, I am a very silly human and I love laughing and playing with them.

In my spare time you can find me hiking in the mountains or curled up reading a book!
