About Jennifer
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, my name is Jenn. I love working with children and "seeing" things thru their eyes. I am caring, reliable, honest, hard working, organized, and a multitasker. I am trained in CPR and First Aid. I have over 30 years experience working with children, nannying, I have managed a childcare center, facilitated children's parties, and rec'd my Child Development Assoc. I believe that you can "teach" during playtime. I have found that a gentle voice, with redirection, helps solve most challenging situations. I am not a fan of screen time as there is so much more to explore in this world! I have a safe driving record and if you allow me to take your child can attend story at local libraries and explore local playgrounds.

Jenn was a wonderful nanny. We hired her when our daughter was about 5 months old and she worked with us on a full-time basis for just over two years. Jenn is friendly, professional, efficient, conscientious, responsible and reliable. Her role involved general supervision and care including meals, changing (and more recently, helping with potty-training), playtime & playgroups, naps and baths. Jenn also managed the nursery, handled our daughter's laundry and kept us apprised of day-to-day needs including wardrobe, supplies and groceries-though she occasionally would pick things up at the market for us, as well. Jenn would occasionally work evenings and weekends, and was also very helpful when she traveled with us. She was a tremendous help to our family. We recommend her highly.
