About Jen

Experience: 3 yrs

I left the corporate world three years ago and now fill my days with other important work that I really enjoy: childcare. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, including my 2 step kids! I enjoy engaging kids in interactive games, activities, and outdoor play (away from digital devices). I'm experienced with school pick ups, driving to activities, homework help, meal prep, organizing fun play activities, and nap/bedtime routines I'm comfortable around pets and I'm happy to help with pet related tasks. Your children's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I can accommodate various schedules whether you need a regular weekly commitment or occasional help. Thanks!

Jen has been picking up our 7 yo from school and driving him home, and she’s been great. She is punctual, reliable, very flexible and super easy to coordinate with. Our son is comfortable with Jen and I always feel confident that he’s safe and in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to other families looking for dependable after-school help.
