    I've known and worked with Jenn for several years and she is amazing! She is incredibly good at connecting with children and creating a bond with them. She has a very loving and caring personality and is someone who goes out of their way to help when someone is in need. Jenn is very passionate about what she does and always strives to create an educational and fun space when working with kids and their families. I would recommend her to all of my family and friends!
