About Jennifer

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing children's growth is my passion, and I've dedicated over 15 years to making a positive impact on their lives. I've specialized in taking care of special needs children and young adults, especially those who are Autistic. I was with my last child for 9 years and was approved through the DDA for his care. I strive to provide a safe, engaging environment for children . My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I can provide transportation to and from school or events and have a safe Honda CRV. I love exploring nature with children and teaching basic foraging, and plant and animal identification. I am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and crafts. I have First Aid and CPR Training. I can provide daily written reports and am happy to communicate updates via text or phone call, following your preferred method. I am comfortable caring for up to two children. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you and your children!

Jenn worked with my son for 9 years. She genuinely cared for him, this was not just a job. Even now she continues to care about my son and fields many texts about his interests. My son transitioned to adult service provider and now she’s looking for a new family to help. She was a much needed stress relief for me by understanding his needs, being creative with techniques and activities, and remaining disciplined, so he knew what to expect. I didn’t have to worry when at work that he was safe and provided for. She took him to library activities, dog walking, to parks and nature trails to ID everything from plants, birds, and insects. Introduced him to activities and video games/programs, he’d not known about without her. She helped coach him through chores and hygiene. He’s become independent in fixing quick meals and taking his meds, and picking up meds at pharmacy without having to assist. She’s certain to be a welcome addition to your family care plans.
