Experience: 10 yrs
Working with young children has been my lifelong calling. I hold Bachelor's degrees in Early Childhood Education and Human Development, along with a three-year Waldorf Teaching certification. For over 20 years, I have cared for children from birth through age 7 in both home and classroom settings. My experience spans infant care through the early elementary years, supporting families through important developmental transitions with patience, attentiveness, and consistency. I focus on creating calm, nurturing environments rooted in rhythm, emotional security, and developmentally appropriate care, where children feel safe to explore, build confidence, and truly be themselves. I deeply value collaborative partnerships with parents and strive to be a steady, thoughtful presence for the whole family.
Jennifer is an absolute gem! She cared for my seven-year-old, who is on the spectrum, with such warmth, patience, and genuine understanding. From the moment she walked into our home, she was a delight to have around, creating an environment where my child felt safe, respected, and truly seen. Her expertise in working with children and families with special needs is nothing short of extraordinary. With her strong background in early childhood development and Waldorf education, she brought thoughtful and creative approaches to every interaction. Her ability to anticipate my child’s needs, adapt to his unique preferences, and engage him in meaningful, calming activities was truly impressive. Jennifer’s loving and kind nature made her a perfect fit for our family, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s not just a caregiver; she’s a partner in supporting your child’s growth and well-being. If you’re lucky enough to have her in your life, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Five stars aren’t enough!
