I left the corporate world four years ago and since then keep busy with other important work that I really enjoy: childcare. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I prioritize engaging kids in interactive games and activities, reading, crafts, and outdoor play (away from digital devices). I'm experienced with school pick ups, driving to activities, playdates, homework help, meal prep, organizing fun activities, and nap/bedtime routines. I'm comfortable around pets and am happy to help with light housework and pet related tasks. Your children's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I can accommodate various schedules including recurring weekly commitments or occasional help. Thanks!
Jen has been picking up our 7 yo from school and driving him home, and she’s been great. She is punctual, reliable, very flexible and super easy to coordinate with. Our son is comfortable with Jen and I always feel confident that he’s safe and in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to other families looking for dependable after-school help.
