A little bit about me
I'm Jess, I'm a licensed professional counselor who has been working with kids and families in West Philly for the last ten years as a nanny, school counselor, and family therapist. I've enjoyed supporting kids and families in their growth, having the opportunity to play, and the sweetness that spending time with children brings to my life. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be a part of the emotional lives of children and families and shape them as my experiences with them shape me. I've enjoyed my roles as consultant, collaborator, and companion in the families I've worked with in the past and am interested in working with a family who values clear communication, gentleness, compassion, mutual respect, and playfulness.
In my free time I love to cook, travel, spend time outdoors, host big parties for my chosen family, volunteer for an herbal medicine mutual aid project, and sing made up songs to my cat.

"Jess cared for our kiddo from the time kiddo was 5 months old, until she was just about 18 months. The only reason our engagement ended was Covid, when the nanny share we were in dissolved due to lockdown.
Jess is very caring and calm, and it truly helped me as a new parent, to be able to hand my child off each workday morning knowing that she would be looking after my child. Jess always made sure to give us feedback from the day, which was super helpful, especially as we were navigating the change from bottles to solid food. My kiddo loved spending time with Jess (and her nanny share buddy).
Engagement and outdoor play is important, and Jess always made sure that both kids in the Nanny share had plenty of both.
Without hesitation, we recommend Jess to any parent seeking not just a caregiver, but a partner in nurturing their child's growth. If we ever decided to have another child there's no doubt in our minds – Jess would be our nanny in a heartbeat."

"She is very sweet, caring, attentive and understanding. She took care of my kids like they were her own. She played with them. She talked to them. She listened to them. She cooked for them and she can cook. She was like a second mother to my children I had to move and if I could take her with me, I would’ve. She helped me become more understanding as a mother. If you do hire her just know that you are going to get the best out of her. She gives her all. My kids and I are going to miss her. Thank you, Takiyah."

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tierra and I have always wanted to work with children. I have been a nanny to a few children and I don't think I love anything more than that. I love taking care of kids in their earlier years because I believe those are the most important years for nurturing and learning. I exhibit the characteristics of being patient, attentive, trustworthy, and many more that fits into an ideal nanny. In addition to being an ideal nanny, I would also be able to do other activities such as light housekeeping, etc. I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a career goal of being a behavior analyst. My current occupation is a behavioral health technician and I work with children who are on the autism spectrum. During my free time, I enjoy spending time journaling, spending time with family and friends, learning new skills, and watching some of my favorite tv shows. With that being said, I would love to create relationships with families and be of help as much as I can be. Thank you!
