About Me.
Hey, I'm Jess!
I am an educator and entrepeneur with a passion for helping parents and caregivers. In my time as a childcare provider and teacher, and as a mom of 2 myself, I have heard time and time again about the gaps in support and knowledge parents face trying to raise their children. Whether you are struggling setting boundaries, understanding development phases or attachment styles, or fostering a closer connection to your child(ren), I am here to provide you clarity, education, and strategies in a safe, collaborative, non-judgemental space. I specialize in providing individualized support and guidance to parents who are looking to ease the stress and struggles of modern parenting and create a more fulfilling parenting experience. I offer a unique and effective approach to parenting support from a variety of perspectives that is based on education, observation, and experience.
I cannot wait to work with you to turn your parent struggles into celebrations.
Education & Experience
Bachelor of Education Degree
Major English
Minor Inclusive (Special) Education
After receiving my degree, I taught for three years at the elementary school level in roles that primarily revolved around parent and student support. Here, I developed a passion and interest for individualized, 1:1 support for diverse needs and began building my repetoire of skills and strategies for working with children.
Childcare Provider and Daycare Owner/Operator
For 15+ years, I have provided childcare to families ranging in family structure and diverse needs including foster families with displaced children, children awaiting diagnoses, and children living with ADHD, autism, and developmental disorders. For 6+ of those years, I owned and operated a home-based daycare. I have supported families in strategizing for problems as simple as potty training, nap schedules, and socio-emotional development, to as complicated as seeking observations and resources for assessment and diagnosis.
