Jacki Wilkie

Floating Support Teacher

Jacki grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina in 2017. She holds a B.A. in Psychology and has combined that formal knowledge with multiple hands-on experiences working with children.  In the past, she has worked as a family nanny and a professional teacher in both private childcare and public schools.  Most recently, she worked as an Instructional Assistant for Kindergarten at Forest View Elementary. Jacki began working part-time/seasonally with Wildflower in 2019. We were thrilled to have her join us full-time in August 2022.

Jacki has found her life’s passion working with children.  In a general sense, she enjoys learning about the various aspects of child development. At an individual level, she adores uncovering each unique personality and quirk.  When Jacki can have a hand in a child’s positive growth—mind, body, and spirit—she feels incredibly rewarded. 

Outside of her work, Jacki enjoys spending time with her daughter and son, reading, hiking, playing softball, and simply being outdoors.  Her family, cats, dogs, and chickens are also usually willing to join in the fun.
