About Jennie

Experience: 10 yrs

For over 20 years, I've been helping children-from tiny infants to independent teens-navigate big emotions, grow their confidence, and discover who they want to be. I've been a nanny, camp counselor, and mentor in juvenile facilities, even co-creating a theater program to inspire empathy and self-expression. Families call me the "child whisperer" for my calm, creative approach. I use the Self-Driven Child method, guiding kids to set goals, think critically, and take responsibility. Screens are used with purpose-nature programs, Reading Rainbow, or "how it's made" videos-never just for entertainment. I don't use "cry it out" sleep training. For the past four years, I've been with one family; as their needs shift, I'm seeking the right fit to supplement or replace those hours.

She is the godmother to my kids. I choose her because of her caring nature. I know my kids would be well taken care of, well educated and they would reach their potential.
