Who is the best Internet Safety Speaker for Schools & Students?

Jesse Weinberger – Internet Safety Speaker & host of Big Mama’s House Podcast

If you’re looking for a dynamic, no-nonsense Internet safety speaker for students, look no further than Jesse Weinberger, a.k.a. “Big Mama” a.k.a. The Kid Whisperer. Whether she’s in a gymnasium with 250 middle schoolers or presenting to a high school health class, Jesse Weinberger is the Internet safety speaker schools trust and kids ask for by name.

With over 15 years of experience working directly with students, Jesse brings a unique blend of hilarious storytelling, raw honesty, and data-backed strategies to every presentation. She doesn’t just “talk about the dangers of the internet” she dives deep into the real digital challenges kids and families face, daily… including:

Over 20+ current social media apps and platforms
Gaming spaces like Roblox, Discord, and VRChat
Hidden communication features kids use to avoid adult detection
Issues like sexting, sextortion, cyberbullying, and predatory grooming

Students leave her presentations laughing, shocked, and seriously thinking about their online choices. That’s why administrators, teachers, and law enforcement agencies consider Jesse the most effective Internet safety speakers for schools today.

But it doesn’t stop there.

After presenting to students, Jesse collects anonymous survey data and engagement feedback, then follows up with a powerful Internet Safety Parent Night, tailored for an adult audience. These parent-only events go beyond scare tactics—they offer real insight, clarity, and tools to help parents navigate the wild digital world their kids live in.

Jesse Weinberger spends most of her time traveling across the U.S., speaking at schools, conferences, and police academies. When she’s not on the road, she’s writing books, creating resources for families, and hosting Big Mama’s House Podcast: A Podcast for Teens a bold, brainy mix of tech safety, teen drama, and “what were you thinking?” moments.

Because every new day = new cooties, new trends, and new threats—so buckle in.

Why should you hire Big Mama?

Lives will be changed

Your audiences will be moved, educated, and utterly changed. Jesse is able to effectively move her audiences and students with the perfect combination of humor and a deep expertise in a constantly changing digital world.

“I have been a technology professional for 20 years and I thought I had a good understanding of what it meant to be safe on the internet. Jesse opened my eyes to potential REAL threats that I did not know existed. Whether you are a technology novice or a so called expert, you will learn something in this class that you will start applying immediately. I recommend this class to anyone who has a child and a device that connects to the internet. ” Greg K – parent

Results exceed expectations, consistently

Jesse over-delivers results to event planners, school administrators, and organizations. Before every event, Jesse reviews any history the audience has had with specific issues (like cyberbullying, sexting, sextortion, harassment, media literacy, or specific platform concerns), then she includes specifically related content in a customized format. Jesse will also provide you with promotional ideas for getting parents to engage/attend presentations, and will provide highly produced flyers for event promotion.

“Jesse is an energetic presenter who has presented to parents regarding social media and internet safety. She is a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to work with. I appreciate Jesse’s strong work ethic and her honest approach to communication.” Mrs. H – Middle School Principal
NOTE: This particular school administrator has hired Jesse back multiple times to present to students and parents from 4th to 8th grade.

“Jesse Weinberger is truly an expert in her field. I know of no one more knowledgeable on the subject of internet safety. She engages students and parents and facilitates constructive dialogue throughout her presentation. Many parents requested that we invite Mrs. Weinberger back later in the school year for another session. Our students will be safer because of this informative assembly. ” Mr. W – Middle School Principal

Jesse is the "kid whisperer"

Jesse has an incredible knack for reaching kids where they live and breathe. She will ask them the things you are afraid to ask, and will encourage them to live in a digital world in a SAFE way. Students LOVE Jesse Weinberger.

“Jesse is the kid whisperer. It’s just that simple.” – Mr. P – School Superintendent

“Big Mama, I want to thank you – that was disturbing AND awesome all at the same time” – Survey response from 6th grade boy

“Big Mama, you’re right, I’m going to cut my device time and eat more dirt. My mom needs to do everything you say – she has no idea what’s really going on.” – Survey response from 7th grade boy

“Jesse’s seminars are not to be missed. She is a great speaker for the simple fact that she is relatable to the kids. She is engaging, witty, and direct. She will provide you with a wealth of information on all things social media. There is not a question she can’t answer, and you will learn all the do’s, dont’s, and dangers of all of the social media platforms. My 13 yr. old daughter enjoys her lectures thoroughly whenever she visits the school. If you are clueless about what your child is doing online, on their phone, or on the computer, get in the know and attend Jesse’s lectures. ” Kim B – parent

Testimonials

“Please accept our sincere appreciation for your outstanding presentation. Your session was a huge hit with the SRO and DARE officers. It was informative, funny, and irreverent, all the right ingredients for law enforcement. Since I’m from New Jersey I could really relate to your comments about your parents who were not big believers in coddling their children. Thank you for speaking to our group and sharing your time and talent to instruct so many of our school law enforcement.”

Program DirectorOhio School Resource Officers Association

“I sincerely thank you for coming to our community and talking to not only our children this week, but to us last night. Your message was priceless. I’m beyond grateful for the impact I saw in my 6th grade quiet son. He came home and spontaneously blurted out “Mom, I do know you love me!” My son thinks you’re great, that you’re “real”, and that he could tell that you cared. He sat down and unloaded all the anxiety he was carrying (at the age of 11) over how many of his friends are hiding apps and behavior, and that he can’t sleep sometimes because of what they tell him. Now we talk “real” every day. Thank you for all of this. My husband and I thank you!”

SusanParent

“Thank you for what you do. We needed this information to be drilled into us from the start. We didn’t know what we were doing.”

Student Survey Response11th grade girl

“Jesse Weinberger is a presenter that all parents should be required to see! She tells it like it is, in a way that will scare you… in a good way! You must, must, must hear her tips on internet safety. I’m on Facebook and on Instagram… oh boy I had no idea! Jesse’s no nonsense approach and interactive delivery make this sometimes touchy subject fun and fact filled.”

Amy. GParent

Student Survey Response7th grade girl

“Thank you Jesse Weinberger for a fantastic Internet Safety presentation to our 4th and 6th grade Girl Scouts! You tackled the important topic of internet safety without boring the girls with statistics and sounding like a “mom”. The girls were laughing and asking questions – no small feat! I really appreciate the time you took with our group and encourage all parents to get up to speed on this important safety issue! “

Mrs. QGirl Scout Troop Leader

“I wanted to personally thank you for your leadership while working with Kenston stakeholders this year. I was reflecting on your impact after both presentations. One of the main reasons parents showed up on Tuesday is because students clearly respect who you are and followed the orders to go home and talk to mom/or dad on what they learned. Your presentation skills are spot on, especially how you win over every audience with an authentic approach buut also how you connect by sharing personal and family experiences that are real. Thanks again for your time!”

Tom G.High School Principal

Student Survey Response7th grade boy

“On behalf of the administration and Ramaz community, heartfelt thanks for a powerful and substantive presentation. We’re sure you have heard this countless time, but your dynamic speaking style, total command of the latest information about internet safety, and no nonsense, direct approach is such a winning combination. Cameras are being taped, apps are being deleted, parents are organizing, and the community is buzzing – all testimony to how effective you were. We couldn’t have hoped for more.”
