Hi, my name is Jessica! I've been the go-to babysitter for my family, friends, and church friends for years, and I've also worked in daycare and school settings. I love spending time with kids of all ages, keeping them safe, happy, and engaged. I enjoy hands-on activities, age-appropriate learning, reading, going on walks, visiting the library, or just finding fun ways to explore and play. I'm attentive, caring, and always try to create a nurturing environment where children feel supported and have a great time!!:)
