I have prior childcare experience working as a nanny during college as well as more recently caring for a child with Down syndrome.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy staying active and engaged with children through a mix of fun and meaningful activities. I love outdoor play, sports, and going on walks, as well as creative activities like arts and crafts. I also enjoy helping with homework, reading together, and incorporating learning into everyday moments. Most importantly, I like creating a positive, structured environment where kids can have fun, build confidence, and feel supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and able to be themselves. Building strong, trusting relationships with both the children and the family is key, along with providing consistency, guidance, and positive encouragement to help children grow and thrive.

My experience with special needs children...

I have over 10 years of experience working with children with special needs as a special education teacher, supporting students with autism, learning disabilities, behavioral needs, and communication challenges. I also have experience as a nanny for a child with Down syndrome and a background as a speech therapy assistant. I focus on building strong relationships, using patience and positive reinforcement, and creating structured, supportive environments where children feel safe and can thrive.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I’m still looking forward to my favorite nanny moment.

Hello, my name is Jessica! I love kids because they make us appreciate the little things in life. I enjoy being outside, playing sports, crafts, reading, and much more! I love animals, so I am willing to take care of them if needed. I do own my own car, so I am able to transport your child where ever needed. I am also able to prepare meals and do any cleaning if needed.

I have worked with kids ages 3 to 8, training them in the basics of gymnastics and cheerleading. I have also occasionally watched my cousins who range from newborn to 14.

I am currently attending Hope College in Holland Michigan, but I will be back home on summer break the second week in May.
