I'd describe my personality as consistent, creative and kind. I like working with kids because they remind me to see the joys and wonders in our everyday world that adults usually take for granted I'm looking for a job that allows me to be with my littles and help another family with care at the same time. I started working with kids when I was a teenager as the neighborhood babysitter. Then in college I realized I b missed being around kids and found part time babysitting jobs. After college I started as a nanny full time and have never looked back. In my spare time, I like to play with my kids. Have a nice meal with my husband or some girlfriends. I love swimming, crafting and reading, but haven't had much time to dedicate to that recently. One thing you should know about me is that I really enjoy what I do and would totally do it for free if I could. My skills include consistency, setting boundaries, and mimicking a parents' parenting style.
Jennifer is Ah-mazing! I found her here on Care.com to care for my 6 month old son while I was in town for work. She was responsive and engaging from the phone interview through the entire time she cared for my son. Jennifer is respectful and loving. She arrived on time, washed her hands, asked if she could pick up my son, and I never looked back. She sent pictures throughout the day to ease my anxiety (on her own volition). My son was out of sorts due to traveling and some new foods he had tried. Jennifer wanted to help him feel better and get some much needed rest so she sat in a chair with him with the lights out and curtains drawn at the hotel so he could nap for a couple of hours. So appreciated! We tried to get Jennifer to move to Austin to become our full time nanny but she is committed to the San Francisco area! Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Jennifer care for their children.
