### About Me
I have been a parent for over 22 years, and working in the industry for nearly five years, including as an Education Support Worker working alongside tamariki with additional needs, as a kaiako in centre settings, and as a session facilitator at Playcentre. My passions include understanding what motivates behaviour and learning, as well as culturally responsive practice.
## Places We Like To Visit
## Tiny Nation events Pop-up playgroups Library visits Local parks and playgrounds The Zoo Museum
## My Availability
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 am -3:30 pm (with some flexibility). I have openings for over and under twos. I close for one week each school holidays and three weeks over the Christmas period (no charge when closed).
## My Philosophy
I believe relationships underpin everything in teaching. A strong, safe relationship with caregivers allows deep learning to naturally occur. I am particularly influenced by Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset theory and Kaupapa Māori practice as outlined in Te Whatu Pōkeka. I strongly believe that whānau are experts on their own children and will always listen to what you tell me they need. We work in partnership to support your tamariki to thrive in my care.
## My Environment
My home has a large playroom that opens onto a safe, enclosed backyard. Beyond this, we have a large rural property with cows and chickens to feed, and a paved driveway for bike-play. Out and about, we will enjoy our local parks and bush walks, beaches and other excursions. My growing resource collection allows for (among others) potions, playdoh, block play, art sessions, dramatic play, and quiet snuggles on our reading couch. I also have a sensory snug where children can take themselves for some hut play or emotional regulation.
## My Training
I have an undergraduate degree in Educational Psychology and a Graduate Diploma of Teaching and Learning (ECE). I am a registered teacher.
## "A Wonderful way of helping children feel safe and supported"
Over the last couple of years, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Jessamy work with our daughter, and she is someone I trust. Any child in her care would be very lucky.
Jessamy is highly qualified and highly experienced. She takes the time to understand each child, listens to parents, and adapts her approach to help tamariki thrive. In our experience, she is observant, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator, working with whānau and welcoming open conversations. She's creative and has a wonderful way of helping children feel safe and supported. I highly recommend her.
## "Kind and Caring"
Jessamy was my son’s support person at his early childhood provider. I was so happy that he got her because she was amazing. She was so kind and caring towards him, and got to know him on a personal level, which allowed her to better care for him. When we moved away to a different part of Auckland, she made him a personalised book to help ease any anxiety, and he still gets it out sometimes, 3 1/2 years later! Any child would be lucky to have her look after them, and their parents should be assured their precious baby is in safe and wonderful hands.
