Happy Fall! I have been providing childcare for families in the Valley for over 10 years. I've worked in various childcare fields and have had great experiences as a nanny as well as a preschool teacher. 

My time has been spent with children of all ages, from infants through school-age. I also have experience with special needs and multiples. 

I love helping little ones be brave and adventurous and the outdoors are a must 

Over the years, I have developed great relationships with the families I have provided care for and they are available as references. 

I'm hoping to continue to meet great families!

My child struggled to nap on her own and Jen had her napping in her own bed, day one. Little one is always excited to see her.

Jen's help as a childcare provider has been invaluable for our family. She is always on time or early, reliable, and communicates really well. She's professional and confident in her work, but also genuinely warm and caring with our kids.
What sets Jen apart is how naturally skilled she is with babies. With our little one under a year old, she has an incredible ability to read and anticipate needs before they even become apparent, which is such a rare quality. She's been equally wonderful with our toddler, and we've loved the variety she brings to their days together: creative art projects (sometimes showing up with special supplies!), big outdoor play, and lots of movement activities. She clearly puts real thought into keeping things fun and engaging.
On top of all that, Jen brings so much positivity and joy to our home. She's personable and the kind of person whose presence genuinely lifts everyone's mood. Most importantly, I trust her and feel my kids are in good hands with her. 
We're transitioning to a different care setting as our kids get older, but that's just a reflection of where they are developmentally. We would recommend Jen without hesitation to any family lucky enough to find her.

Jen has been absolutely wonderful with our daughter. She’s warm, fun, and truly treats her with so much care and attention. They spend lots of time playing outside and doing arts and crafts projects—our daughter always lights up when she knows Jen is coming over! It gives us such peace of mind knowing our daughter is not only well cared for, but also learning and having fun. We feel so lucky to have found Jen and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind and engaging babysitter. 

Jen was our nanny for our first son for almost two years, and now she's nannying our second boy and both have absolutely loved her. It's so rare and hard to find someone you can trust completely with your kids and your home and your pets, but Jen is all of it and more. She's kind, she's reliable, and she's been there for our kids from the time that they were babies. I can't imagine what we would have done without her, and I can't recommend her enough to any family lucky enough to connect with her. 

Jen was absolutely wonderful with my 10 month old son. She played with him, fed him, kept him on perfect nap schedules and was very communicative before and during her care. We would absolutely hire Jen again! 

Jen is an excellent caregiver for two young children. She brought activities with her which was appreciated. She is responsible, kind, creative, and hardworking. Her communication was excellent and I would hire her again.

Jen is absolutely amazing. Lots of people claim to be high energy, but she is the real deal. She also brought her own toys for my boys to play with and made sure to find a shady spot outside. She asked lots of questions in order to be respectful of our routines. They had so much fun with her, they didn't even notice or care that we came home!

We love Jen she’s an amazing person and she has so much patience with our little 1 1/2 year old. Anyone who can deal with a screaming child for hours on straight is a saint to me. I’ve let her know she is part of our family and we are not letting her go. 

Hands down most reliable and trust worthy person ever. Jen has been an absolute blessing in my life by consistently helping with both of my children (4 years and 15 months old). She is always early or on time and is incredibly flexible with my time needs on top of being totally self sufficient with the kids as she has tons of experience. I have never had a hesitation or complaint with her, both of my kids adore her and they're learning so much from spending time with her during the day. I would recommend Jen to any family or anybody in need of a reliable source of help or support. Jen has a kind heart and open mind which really shows through her work with people and animals. So thankful to have found Jen on care.com.

Jen was phenomenal and I could not recommend her more highly!  We are in Montana for the summers and she was a great addition to our family.  She is loving, caring and gentle and our 2.5 year old daughter took to her right from the start, to the point that she still asks for her.  Jen even brought her own toys and craft projects to engage with our daughter.  It was like having a traveling pre-school experience!

Jen was amazing! My family and I were in MT for a couple weeks and Jen was willing and able to accommodate our schedule so she was available to help watch our 4 year old daughter. My daughter completely fell in love with Jen (and her two pups)! Jen was engaging, energetic, and overall amazing! She came prepared with games and crafts and a great attitude! We look forward to using her again when we return in the future!

Jen watched our little boy for about a year, and she was literally everything we could have asked for in a nanny. This was the peak of COVID and Jen handled it like a pro, taking all sorts of precautions to keep our family and the other families she worked with safe. She's kind and punctual and really cares about the kids and families she works with. We were always comfortable with her son taking our son out of the house, he loved her, and she was great about bringing toys/activities/art supplies to keep him engaged and learning. Can't recommend her enough. If you snag her, you're lucky to have her!

Jen is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and gentle approach immediately put my shy 18-month old at ease. She came prepared with fun toys and crafts, and I felt completely confident that my little guy was in good hands throughout the day.

Jen worked with us for about a year and a half.  She started when my daughter was 6 months old and my son was 4.  Jen and our family established a close working relationship where we could talk about adjustments, values, and how to best support one another with ease.  I really appreciated her open communication and she was always ready with a smile and a bag of activities for the kids.  We love her dearly and she will be a wonderful addition to any family that is needing care.

My twin 2 year olds just love Jen and my husband and I are so grateful we found her. She's engaging and creative with the boys, she's dependable, flexible, always on time and I love how she handles the twins when they have conflict. She's so calm and explains things to them gently but can hold boundaries too. She has lots of experience with kids and it shows. We would absolutely recommend her!

Miss Jen has been caring for our two young children (ages 6 & 3) for a couple years now. She is always early. She is patient and kind. I feel at ease when she is caring for my children. Jen always brings fun crafts or activities to do with my children. They adore her!

Jen is the best!  She is very professional and has years of experience.  She brings art projects for the kids to do and toys.  She's taught my 18 month old a bunch of animal sounds and she is helping my older girl get ready for kindergarten by practicing writing her name and learn her phone number.  I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.  She's worth every penny and more. 

Jen is an awesome nanny. Safe & reliable! 

Jennifer is a thoughtful and considerate care provider.  She asks great questions, shows enthusiasm for working with children, and has a fun and energetic personality.  She is also very organized and dependable, traits I certainly value highly!  She will be a great fit for many different types of families; I enjoy working with her very much and trust that you will too!
