About Jenny

Experience: 1 yr

Hi, I'm Jenny! I am a caring, patient and dependable mom of two boys in college. Taking care of children brings me joy and a sense of purpose. Knowing I can support families by providing reliable and safe care is very rewarding. I enjoy being outdoors, playing all kinds of games and engaging in cooking and craft activities. As a semi-retired Veterinary Nurse I am also very comfortable with pets. I am first aid and CPR certified. I am willing to help with cooking light, housekeeping, carpooling, etc. I would love to bring my energy and enthusiasm to your family.

Jenny spent 6 months with our family as our primary childcare provider needed surgery. This was our first time utilizing a sitter who wasn’t a family member and we struck gold when we found Jenny. Jenny is extremely patient, flexible, and honest. She cared for our two sons (ages 4 and 1.5) with grace, and she consistently found ways to challenge their creativity while in her care. Our boys really enjoyed her presence and we found comfort in knowing we could trust her with our boys. We appreciated her transparency— when the boys would get bumps and bruises (because they are wild toddlers), she would communicate any incidents with us immediately. Jenny was also very aware of their emotional and physical needs. Jenny also took constructive feedback and recommendations well. She looked forward to taking them to parks and organizing fun activities for them. Jenny spoke to our boys in a respectful tone and always followed our requests (nap schedules, meal suggestions, etc). If / when the opportunity arises, we will gladly welcome Jenny back for date night / as needed coverage. Our boys truly love her, and we are thankful she is now part of our family!🤍
