About Jenna

Throughout high school, I was the head of the child care program at my church. During the services, I was responsible for children ranging from infancy to about 8 years old. On any given Sunday, I had to be prepared to juggle rocking to sleep newborns, providing older children with activities to do and keeping the attention of autistic toddlers. Typical activities included reading stories, learning songs and doing crafts for the day's chosen bible section. Additionally, I have been babysitting for the past eight years for children ranging from infants to adolescents. Throughout middle school, I volunteered at a school for children with special needs and during highs school, I tutored elementary school kids through a program. I have continued to tutor throughout my time at Duke University and have been active in the planning of our annual sorority event at a local elementary school. I have continued my involvements with this elementary school through my affiliations via teaching weekly first aid and safety preparedness classes.
