About Jennifer

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! I have professional history taking care of disabled and non disabled children; I also consider myself good at housework, cleaning, and arts and crafts. I enjoy teaching early education and have been tutoring ages 4-19 for around four years, although my forte is teaching beginning to read. - only potty trained children - cameras preferable in home I started working with kids a couple years ago as a Para for all-day camps, but moved on shortly after to at home child care and education. In my spare time, I like to draw, hike, garden, and cook. Since I am quite young I am knowledgeable on a good amount of stuff that children are into, such as movies and games; I will always try to educate myself on what the kids I take care of are interested in to make a more memorable experience. I also own a good amount of creative activities personally and am quite prone to bringing over games to play, sewing clothes for their dolls, or new art supplies or activities to try out.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Jen as our sitter, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She’s been the biggest help with my daughter—not only is she punctual and reliable, but she also goes above and beyond when it comes to cooking, tutoring, and keeping things fun and engaging. My daughter adores her, and it’s easy to see why—she brings such warmth, creativity, and kindness into our home. She’s incredibly trustworthy and hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had. We feel so lucky to have found her!
