My name is Jessica, and I’m 28 years old. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and over six years of experience caring for children of all ages which gave me valuable hands-on experience with child development and daily family routines. I consider myself an active, patient, organized, honest, kind, creative, and loving person. I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and connecting with nature. As a nanny and babysitter, I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as arts and crafts, dancing, painting, board games, nature walks, and more. I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth through playful and engaging experiences. I’m also a native Spanish speaker, and if you’re interested, I’d be happy to introduce your children to the Spanish language through songs, stories, games, and everyday conversation. Currently, I work with a wonderful family with three kids during the week and have been with them for the past two years. They would be happy to provide references. I’m now looking for occasional babysitting opportunities in the evenings and on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy and comfortable for families. Thank you for visiting my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon!

Jessica was amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our son in her care. She was prompt and very caring with our one year old who bonded with her immediately!

I have always enjoyed working with children and began babysitting for family and neighbors during high school and college, both on a part-time and occasional basis. These experiences gave me the chance to care for kids of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children, and helped me develop patience, creativity, and responsibility. I truly love spending time with children, whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, or just keeping them engaged in fun and safe activities. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive, and I pride myself on creating a positive and safe environment. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks and pet care if needed. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to support families and be a trusted presence for their children.
