A little bit about me

Hi ! I’ve been working with children for over four years, often supervising large groups of 15–25 kids at a time, which has given me a strong understanding of how to keep them safe, engaged, and happy. I enjoy creating fun, educational, and age appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and teamwork. I also focus on helping children build confidence, develop social skills, and navigate challenges in a supportive and positive environment. Parents can trust that I’m patient, responsible, and experienced in managing busy groups while giving each child individual attention and care. My goal is always to create a welcoming and nurturing space where every child feels valued and supported.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Jessica Cecilia Bueno. I am perfectly fine with nicknames such as Jess or Jessie, whatever is to your liking. I graduated high school in May of 2024 and I am 19 years old. I was born in New York and my family is from Honduras so speaking both English and Spanish fluently is no problem for me. Growing up I had to raise a good amount of nieces and nephews–one specifically with special needs, so I am good with accommodating a child's needs. I put in my profile that I had no experience because I had never officially been hired as a nanny.
