A little bit about me

My name is Jessie Bard and I am a recent college graduate from just outside New York City with a passion for education and early childcare development. I have an extensive history of supporting children’s social and academic development. My background is rooted in literacy advocacy, having co-founded a nonprofit to support children at a homeless shelter and served as a literacy tutor and mentor.

My childcare journey spans from New York to Colorado, including recent roles as a Nanny and House Manager in Tribeca and an Assistant Teacher at Stepping Stones Preschool where I led immersive outdoor education programming.

Outside of work, my hobbies include outdoor recreation and creative arts including photography and water colors. I am a highly sociable and interpersonal person who values connecting with others. I pride myself on creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children of all ages in order to explore themselves and the world around them!

A little bit about me

I graduate from college in December 2026 and I am looking for a job that I will enjoy and find meaning in.

I love to work with children, I find it very rewarding and I would love to continue positively impacting the next generation. I have worked in numerous environments with children, all of which I have enjoyed!
