Hi! I'm Jeanine a warm, reliable caregiver with 25 years of experience raising and caring for children. I've raised six children (four of my own and two stepdaughters) and homeschooled five of them for several years. I've cared for little ones from newborn through age 15 and I truly love getting to know each child's unique personality and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported as they grow.
I was blessed to be with one wonderful family for over 10 years and another for a full year (that role ended only because the parent lost her job). I'm patient, kind, and always put safety first while creating a warm, engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves.
I have excellent references I'm happy to share, and I'd love the chance to become a positive part of your family's life.
Warmly,
Jeanine

We hired Jeanine to watch our 6-month-old at our hotel during a wedding in Ojai, and she was fantastic! She was extremely communicative leading up to and during the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind in an unfamiliar town. Our baby took to her immediately. Jeanine followed all instructions on feeding, bathing, and sleep routines perfectly, clearly drawing on tons of childcare experience. She even provided great references beforehand. We 100% recommend Jeanine!

It’s not every day I fly across the country and leave my four-month-old with someone I’ve never met, so naturally, I spent a lot of time reading reviews beforehand… Jeanine’s reviews and our initial phone conversation immediately put me at ease, and meeting her in person only reinforced that feeling.

She has a wonderful ability to roll with the punches and attune to whatever a baby and family need. When we unexpectedly ran out of a few essentials, she offered to pick them up en route to our hotel and on her first night with our daughter she had a question and didn’t hesitate to call us. Some babysitters might have avoided reaching out for any number of reasons, and while it wasn’t anything significant, I deeply appreciated her judgment and communication (which was excellent throughout), and felt it spoke volumes about her competence and care. Leaving your baby with someone new can feel daunting, but Jeanine made it feel easy and our daughter loved her. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to any family!

Jeanine is absolutely wonderful! She watched our 3.5 month old infant, it was our first time finding a babysitter as new parents and when we first spoke with her on the phone we were immediately put at ease. She is caring and wonderful with kids. We hired her to watch our son while we were at a rehearsal dinner and a wedding the subsequent night, and she was so good that we asked her to come back only a few days later so that we could go out to dinner! We will 100% be using Jeanine as our go-to sitter when we are in town in the future. 

Jeanine was wonderful. She looked after our baby, E, for two nights while we were in Ojai for a wedding, and we couldn’t have had a better experience.

She was experienced, professional and friendly, but most importantly, incredibly warm and caring with E. E is still very little, so we’re naturally cautious (and a little nervous!) about leaving her with someone new. Jeanine immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely comfortable knowing E was in such capable, caring hands.

In fact, we had such a great experience that we asked Jeanine to babysit for us again a few days later when we were in LA, so we could go out for dinner for my birthday.

We would absolutely recommend Jeanine to other families, especially anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with a young baby. We’d happily have her look after E again.

Jeanine is wonderful. She’s warm, caring and proactive. My three boys and our whole family loved having her around! 

Jeanine watched our two boys (3 and 1) while we were in Summerland CA for a wedding. She was so great with them, great to coordinate with, and very professional and helpful and friendly. I’d definitely use her again and recommend her! 

Was extremely knowledgeable and comforting to my kids. My baby girl was up for hours and Jeanine just rocked her non stop, it warmed my heart! 

We hired Jeanine last minute for our 4 month old twins while vacationing in Ojai. I was nervous hiring someone I've never met, but once we spoke I knew she  would be great. Jeanine was on time, kept me updated with photos and text, and was a natural with babies. Couldn't have asked for a better person to watch my twins. I highly recommend.

We met and hired Jeanine when we were on a vacation in Ojai. The vacation was to celebrate our anniversary - and one week before our trip we adopted a newborn baby girl! We decided to carry on with our vacation plans, but to bring our new girl along. We had a celebration dinner planned for one night - and we were thrilled to find Jeanine - she was responsive to our inquiry and very accommodating. She came to our hotel and she was incredibly warm and tender and was genuinely excited to be with our baby.  She was reassuring as we were feeling strange about leaving so soon. She texted us during our dinner to let us know that everything was going just fine.   Oh! And I should also mention that she did all of this with our two large dogs (sweetheart dogs, but still!), in the hotel room with her. 

We are so thankful for Jeanine and hope we get to see her again!

We hired Jeanine to take care of our 8 week old while we were visiting Ojai, and she was absolutely wonderful! It was clear she was very comfortable taking care of babies, and our little lady was sleeping peacefully when we returned home both evenings. Jeanine has such a warm and nurturing personality - we would absolutely hire her again!

We hired Jeanine for a date night while visiting Ojai with friends. We live in Colorado and had never met her before. I was convinced by her other great reviews and her job experience as a current nanny for 3. She did such a great job with our children! She watched my friend's 2 year old who has had hardly any babysitters and "can't sleep without mom" and my 10 month old. Jeanine was incredible! By the time we got home at 10 pm she had both babies asleep in their separate pack n plays. She even brought a pack n play for our friend's kid and picked it up the next morning. Jeanine is incredible and i recommend her 100 percent.

We went to a wedding in Ojai and Jeanine took care of both babies (mine and my friend's) during two evenings. She looked after them and kept us inform of how they were doing frequently. She's responsible, experienced and very friendly! Would definitely recommend her! Thanks Jeanine for all your support!

Jeanine in as an amazing wonderful caregiver, she worked full time with our daughter at 3 months when I went back to work.  She is trustworthy, kind, loving, dependable... I couldn't have asked for a better nanny.  The only reason she is not working for us any longer is because I lost my job... but I will swoop her back up as soon as I start working again.
