About Jolene
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have been a nanny/house manager for 15 plus years in the Edwardsville, Illinois and St. Louis area. I became a full-time nanny when I moved to the St. Louis area in 2007. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have cared for twins that were premature and required minimal care to preschool and school age children. As house manager my duties included setting house appointments, car care, grocery shop and help maintain the construction that was being done on the house. I took the children to and from preschool and any outings. I did light cleaning, laundry for the children, traveled with the families and over saw any household duties that were required. I like spending time with the children exploring, teaching, reading and helping them through the goals for the day while having fun in the process. My goal is to nourish, protect, grow and become a part of each family that I work for. I am looking for full time work of 40 to 50 hours a week. I have had great success with each family.

Jolene was with our family for approximately 3 years tending to our 3 boys (Twins had just turned 3 & youngest was 6 months old when she started) We decided to look for a nanny that had already raised children so they would "just get" what needed to be done & that's when we found Jolene. Her duties were waking, dressing & feeding the boys, transporting them to/from preschool, play dates & activities, participating in music or swimming lessons with the youngest, engaging the boys in age appropriate tasks/learning opportunities & playing/reading with the boys daily. We also had her keep the house tidy, do the children's laundry & helping with numerous other tasks associated with the kids. Jolene took a genuine interest in getting to know the boys & they truly loved her. She was strict, but had a warm heart providing them with lots of hugs & positive reinforcement. She was always on time (which is important for working parents), flexible when work circumstances came up, proactive in getting things done around the house & trustworthy. We still use Jolene often for date nights, errands & odd jobs around the house as she is not only great with children, but great at organizing & keeping things tidy. The only reason Jolene is no longer with us full time is because I decided to become a stay at home mom due to increasing travel demands at work. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
