About Jess

I am a career nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with over 10 years of experience across age groups, including kids with ASD, ADHD, and allergies. I'm CPR and first aid certified, trained in Water Safety, and always striving to learn more about child development and psychology. As a yoga teacher, musician, nature lover, and artist, I aim to weave mindfulness, creativity, movement, and plenty of child-directed, play-based outdoor learning into my work with young children. I have a warm, grounded energy, and I am passionate about modeling empathy, patience, and curiosity. My childcare philosophy is to provide a safe and supportive environment for children to learn, play, and create, while still setting clear boundaries and supportive routines. I also offer light housekeeping and food prep - I especially love to get kids involved in household tasks, tapping into their natural desires to learn and be helpful. I would love to talk more about what your family is looking for.
