About Jennifer

Experience: 15 yrs

Hi! I'm a Child Care Development provider with a Bachelor's degree in Human Services & Women's Studies, a Conscious Educator with 15 years of experience supporting children and families with diverse backgrounds, helping children build confidence, emotional resilience, independence, and creativity. My approach is calm, structured, compassionate, and child-centred, integrating nature-based learning, creative expression, movement, and mindfulness. Certified in Yoga, CPR, and trained in Ayurveda and Marma Therapy in India and Nicaragua. I bring a holistic understanding of emotional regulation and sensory needs. I've lived, worked, and traveled extensively in the U. S., France, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, India, Nepal, Bali, Cambodia, Egypt, and Italy, gaining a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and open-minded communication. I'm dedicated to helping children feel loved, empowered, receptive, thoughtful, and curious. I'm currently open to opportunities with like-minded families.

Jennifer cared for my children 7 and 12, in Italy for 3 months. She brought a sense of peace, love, and gentleness into our home that is truly rare and hard to put into words. She connected immediately in a natural, intuitive, and deeply nurturing way. She taught nature‑based learning, yoga, kindness, healthy cooking, creative projects, and more. My kids felt seen, safe, and joyful with her. As a single mother, her support inspired my life. Jennifer is a gift and a blessing for any family!
