Hi! I’m Jordan, a Master’s student at San José State University with years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve been working with kids since I was 17, starting with sports camps for toddlers and elementary students, where I learned how to keep little ones active, engaged, and safe in high-energy environments. I currently serve on the kids team at my church, caring for children from infancy through age 11+. This includes creating fun, structured activities, supervising playtime, helping with routines, and making sure each child feels seen and supported. I’m patient, responsible, and naturally energetic—I love building genuine connections with the families I work with.
