Jessica Shipman

Thank you so much for visiting my site!  Because people often ask... I'm happy to answer to any version of Jess, Jessie, or Jessica.  And yes, my hair changes a lot!

I'm a professional Nanny with over 18 years experience in early childhood education.  I have worked with both special needs and typically developing children from birth through age eight, including multiples.  I specialize in infant care and I'm passionate about providing enriching, educational experiences for infants. Developing a trusting and loving bond is key to healthy infant care.  Everything from healthy eating and sleeping, to art and sensory activities, and exploring the world are included in a child's day with me.  I work in partnership with parents to maintain communication and meet common goals for the child and family.  I've recently earned my Infant Feeding Specialist certification.  To learn more about that, please see the next slide and my FAQ page.

​

In my spare time, I enjoy my volunteer work with Safe Kids as a CPST, and with Bulldog Haven NW as a foster parent and marketing editor.  My husband and I are currently owned by a very handsome Bulldog named Ludo.  I also enjoy knitting, photography, reading, spending time outdoors, wine tasting, travel, and bargain hunting.  I look forward to meeting you!
