About Jennifer
Experience: 20 yrs
I'd describe my personality as Creative, Caring, Upbeat I like working with kids because they are inspiring and fun. I enjoy helping them with the tools and creativity they need to grow in their capabilities. I'm looking for a job that is fair, thoughtful and keeps the child's best interest at heart. I started working with kids as a teen babysitter and swim instructor. Have four kids of my own, cared for many of their friends including 9 students. I've worked with Care. com for ~5 years. In my spare time, I like to craft design, watch my college baseball player's games, attend my son's rock shows in the DMV, cook, read, tennis, swim, and get outdoors for walks / hikes with my husband. One thing you should know about me is I'm a great mix of gentle, kind and creative yet also old school enough that it makes sense. I definitely know how to keep kids happy, engaged and empower them to solve any challenges. My skills include : Care, Excellent language modeling, Creative Play
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!
