Hello! I am a 35-year-old newly-wed who currently lives in Santa Rosa Valley with my beloved husband who is in his first year of law school (we do not plan to have any children within the next few years). I . . .

-graduated Summa Cum Laude from Scripps College,

-hold a Master’s degree in Education from Pepperdine University,

-taught elementary school for a few years,

-have successfully tutored children for the past seven years,

-am gifted at engaging with, educating, and enhancing the lives of children/teens.

My background includes ballet, dramatic arts, and creative writing. I love to read and to be active, and to instill the passion for both in the children under my care.

I am dependable, tidy and energetic, with kindness and gentleness as my primary heart-priorities.   Light housekeeping, running errands and dog-walking can also be included in my services.

When people ask me why children seem to find such safety & joy with me, I usually reply with the well-loved poem by Sarah Hale called ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb:’

“Why does the lamb love Mary so?

The eager children cry;

Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,

The teacher did reply.”

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to arrange a time to meet!

Warmly,

Jessica
