About Jennifer

Experience: 15 yrs

I started caring for children infant to pre-teen working 2 years at an orphanage in Guatemala. I woke up with them and took care of them until their bedtime! When I returned to the US, I worked at a child care center 2 yrs in the toddler room but, rotated to other classes. Then, worked as a nanny 2 yrs. After, I followed another passion working 3 yrs as a child photographer. Since then, I have worked 8 yrs as a nanny. My mission is to make sure children feel SAFE, at peace, and happy! I believe that a childs first language is energy. I am truly compassionate, affectionate, and understand kids get bored. I find creative ways to keep them busy - without technology! I think it's important to recognize their strengths, gifts, and encourage them where they excel. I believe children should spend a lot of time outside! I am very committed, honest, hard working, kind, gentle, and mostly LOVING. If I sound like a good match for your littles, I would love to hear from you! Thank you in advance!

We had Jennifer watch our 6m old twins when I went back to work. She is incredible and is the only one we trust to watch the kids when we are away. She helped us get them on sleep and feeding schedules, read to them all the time and never entertained using screens (something we were big on avoiding). The twins are over a year old now and still love it every time we have Jennifer watch them!
