A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Jessica and I moved to San Luis Obispo from New York 4 years ago for college. I graduated Cuesta college last fall and while going to school I was a frequent babysitter on and off for families in the area. My second year of college I was a live-in nanny for a family in the area as well, and would often take them to and from day care and work on house chores. This past summer, I lived in Los Angeles babysitting a 3 year old boy with autism and separately I babysat a newborn for a friend of my family.
I live in San Luis Obispo and I most recently worked at Lucys Coffee Co, but was laid off due to COVID-19.
