Hello, I'm Jess, an intuitive, dedicated, and experienced professional nanny. I'm looking for a position with 1 or 2 infants or toddlers starting in mid September 2026. My skills include respectful, attuned caregiving, collaborative problem solving, and proactive planning. I love working with kids and adapting to their specific needs, accompanying them as they explore the world and their place in it. When I'm not nannying, I enjoy being a massage therapist, adventuring with my spouse, reading fantasy & sci-fi novels, and eating amazing food with friends.
Jess was one of our very first nannys when my now 26 year old daughter was a toddler. Jess’ ability to engage with people of all ages, her forthrightness, her desire for honest connection, her delight in play and her ability to honor her commitments made her a great fit for our young family. Those same qualities make her a good friend now. She will meet your young person where they are and help them to be their best self. When they are not being that glorious high ideal - and oh how often that happens - she will be curious and help them to figure out better options. She’s a good observer and a helpful co-processor when understanding the challenges of growing up. If you want her honest opinion, you only need ask.
