About Jessica

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello families, I am a recent grad from a Master's program in Social Work and am hoping to support with occasional pet sitting and child care needs while I wait for licensure from the board to begin my practice as a child and family therapist. I have 10 years of experience working predominantly with neurodivergent and/or disabled children who are experiencing symptoms of severe and persistent mental illness. This has taken place as a residential mental health technician, a full-time nanny, and a para-educator. I can work with multiple high needs children while caring for pets and maintain a high level of supervision. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, especially outdoors when weather permits and utilizing creative behavioral interventions to support kids with learning tools for emotional regulation and processing. If this feels like a good fit for you, please feel free to message me for further information. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio!
