Hello families! My name is Jennifer, with over 20 years of experience caring for children, adults, and individuals from all walks of life. I currently work as a Youth Specialist for displaced youth, caring for children from newborns through age 17. I work with all children, including those with special needs and trauma backgrounds. This requires patience, compassion, individualized care, and strong de-escalation skills. I remain calm in challenging situations while supporting daily routines, including meals, homework, transportation, hygiene, and organized spaces. I also love building positive connections with children through activities and everyday moments that help them feel comfortable being themselves. I am CPR, First Aid, AED certified. I have experience in hospitals, hospice, and In-home care settings. I also co-owned a daycare for children ages 4 months to 3 years. As a mother of four, I value safety and reliability, providing dependable care. I look forward to meeting you!
We love Jennifer. She is gentle, kind, responsive, and an excellent communicator. Our son has special needs and she was able to flow right in on the very first day and adapt to his needs. They were playing and having fun from the start. She is very thoughtful and have been incredibly touched by her kindness. She is a main part of our trusted caregiver circle and I highly recommend her.
