Hello! My name is Jessica, welcome to my page. I am 26 years old currently living in Warrenville IL. I am currently a Special Education Teacher at Wheaton North High School. I graduated with a special education degree from University of Missouri and more recently graduated with my masters in Special Education from the American College of Education. I have lived in Wheaton IL for most of my life and have a heart for the suburbs outside of Chicago. I am on my third year of teaching and absolutely love it! I also coach high school girls basketball. Working with young kiddos has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. My experience with children does not stop there. In college, I spent three years working in a daycare for ages 3 months- 6 years old. Most of my time was spent in the 2-year-old room. Working with those little toddlers was a high light of my college experience. I am comfortable with a wide variety of ages and a wide variety of ability levels.
