About Jennifer
Experience: 20 yrs
Hi there. I'm Jenn, a fun loving, energetic mom of four who gave me tons of experience keeping children happy, healthy, and learning. I like fostering a love of learning through play, games, playdates, and story time with lots of funny voices. Music is also a magic tool that makes transitioning between activities much easier. With my college degree and varsity sports background, I can handle homework help, arts, crafts and a variety of sports, including swim lessons. Being the chef of a large family for over 20 years, I'm also happy to whip up delicious meals and snacks for your family, if helpful. I'm all about creating a happy, calm and nurturing environment where kids can learn, laugh, and grow. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit.
Most recent review
We have had the absolute pleasure of having Jenn care for our toddler over the past year, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better nanny. She is incredibly attentive, patient, loving, and kind, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about him. He gets so excited to see her every morning, and watching their bond grow over the past year has meant so much to us. Jenn is also such a pleasant person to have in our home. I work from home, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to chat with her during my lunch breaks. She helps with light household tasks, which has been an enormous help to our family, and she regularly cooks delicious meals for our son. He especially loves her homemade mac and cheese! We are so sad to say goodbye and will miss Jenn very much. She has been such a wonderful part of our family’s life, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for someone caring, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with children. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!
