VIDEOS! Kindergarten teacher Jessica Vanessa quits job to twerk on Vine

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Vanessa (22) didn’t mind her job as an assistant kindergarten teacher, but when she saw the money that could be make shaking her money maker she said “PEACE OUT Kiddos!”

“What I make in 6 seconds would take me 4 months to make as a teaching assistant,” Jessica Vanessa told Barcroft TV.

With her 2 million followers she is definitely racking up the views on her Vine profile, and money comes from the advertisers paying her to mention their products in some of her videos. “Either I make money on the Internet, I make money doing these videos, or I’m going to be broke and jobless,” she said. But it’s not all good for Jessica Vanessa. She does admit she is often bullied online and has had “breakdowns” over the nasty comments that are left about her.

“I’m not a celebrity but I do get a taste of what they have to go through. I have strangers calling me a whore, people calling me fat, people calling me ugly, people saying just about any mean thing you can say,” she told the Daily Mail. “People like to define you as a whore for twerking, but it’s just a type of dance, that’s it. If people were more open-minded they would understand that.”

Jessica Vanessa says it is comforting that her family supports her through her decision. Her brother is her cameraman ( wow, that seems a bit awkward) and even though her dad struggled with her career, he now says ‘I even joked around one time telling her that I wanted to do one with her.’ (doubly awkward)

Jessica Vanessa says her family is “very open-minded, they don’t look at it in any type of sexual way, they don’t look at it as degrading, they are very supportive.” She even twerks in front of her grandmother who often tells Jessica Vanessa, “Oh yeah, girl!”
