Jessica Robbins

3rd Grade (R. Burnett)

Jessi grew up in Vernal, Utah where she could spend plenty of time in the mountains and the desert, playing and exploring and dreaming. She loves writing fantasy novels, singing, and, most of all, being with children. She has always identified strongly with Maria from The Sound of Music and is thrilled to have the opportunity to work children every day, if not quite that musically. She loves to find the good in children, to see them grow in confidence and self-love, and to hear them express their own thoughts and feelings. Her resume includes years of nannying, working with adults who have developmental disabilities, and working as a paraprofessional with special needs children in an elementary school. She lives with her husband in Provo in an apartment that isn't quite big enough for all of their books and games.
