A little bit about me…

Kind, compassionate, and attentive nanny. I have been working as a nanny for 17 years. I have been with the same family for over a decade and the previous family on and off for 8 years. I provide a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I have experience with newborns and multiples. I seek to understand and support each child’s developmental needs. I strive to create a strong and trusting bond with both the children and parents. I seek to create structured routines , as well as engage in imaginative and creative play that is tailored to the child’s personality and age. I seek to make our interactions fun and engaging as well as educational. I have taken courses in child development and have been CPR trained. I have an AA in psychology but am also currently studying Early Child Development.

"Jessica has helped care for my children for over 11 years, ever since my oldest child was almost a year old. She was a full-time nanny when my 3 kids were babies and is currently helping us daily part-time since the kids are in school now. My kids love her! She is punctual, reliable, and responsible. She is great with kids and makes sure to engage with them in activities, always participating in their games and play and taking them to parks and libraries. She takes feedback well, and she is easy to communicate with; I appreciate her flexibility. She has been indispensable for all the years I've worked with her and I feel truly blessed to have found her early on."
