About Jessica
Experience: 5 yrs
I'm a military wife. I temporarily work full-time as a CBT providing ABA therapy for children with autism. In terms of education, I have a B. A. degree in Psychology. My background with children consists of babysitting throughout college and special education teaching. I'd describe my personality as caring, empathetic, and conscientious. I like working with kids, because I enjoy helping them grow and learn everyday tasks to help them succeed. I'm looking for a job that will help make a difference in the lives of others as well as balance work and life priorities. I started working with kids of all ages when I was 20 years old by teaching at church, babysitting in college, and camp counseling children with cancer. In my spare time, I like to travel, take staycations, and watch period classics. One thing you should know about me is that I love to help others and by doing so I hope to make a difference in this world. My skills include: multitasking, empathetic, and problem-solving.

Katie (Jessica) has been an incredible caregiver this summer for our child. We have a 5 year old with severe ADHD. Katie was patient, kind, thoughtful, and solutions oriented. She transported him to/from camps, took him on outings (park, children's museum, movies) and supervised playdates. She made sure he ate lunch every day and took his mid day medication. She learned his rhythms and to discern when it was time for a break/reset. Katie is communicative, punctual and an all around fantastic caregiver. I would recommend her for any child and particularly neurodivergent kiddos. She's the best!
