About Jessica

Experience: 2 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! I'm Jessica. I work full-time for the public health dept and possess 8 years of professional experience working with families. I am an accredited Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) facilitator. My caretaking approach focuses on positive reinforcement, having safe and interesting environments, and fostering independence for children. I have a 13-year-old daughter and am the oldest of 5 siblings, giving me 15+ years of personal experience caring for children of all ages. I enjoy seeing children light up when we read, sing, or play together. It's a refreshing and welcomed break from healthcare administration! I graduated from UC Berkeley (go bears!) and have a safe, reliable vehicle and driving record. In my personal time, I enjoy being with my daughter and kittens, reading, and salsa dancing. Most of my availability is on weekends, but please reach out for weekday availability. I can care for more than 2 children depending on their ages and request. Thank you!

My daughter immediately warmed to Jessica and woke up the next morning asking "where is my friend?". Jessica is super easy to work with, responsive, and has great experience with kids. Can't wait to work with her again!
