About Jennifer

Experience: 10 yrs

For the last seven, wonderful years, I had the privilege of being a nanny to two incredible girls, helping guide them through their early years with care, creativity, patience, and lots of love. Duties included, light house keeping, laundry, lunch, driving to and from activities, and more. Prior to this I was a nanny to a 3-month-old boy for two years until he attended preschool. I worked as a Certified Occupational therapy assistant in nursing homes for 10 years prior to becoming a stay at home mom. I worked with patients to achieve Independence. I performed ADL training, strengthening, balance and transfer training, as well as positioning. I worked with a variety of patients such as stroke, hip fractures, Parkinson's and more. Now, I'm excited to bring that same dedication, adaptability, and nurturing energy into a new role where I can continue making a meaningful impact. I END MY CURRENT JOB THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER

Jen has cared for my two girls over the years, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her. From the very beginning, she formed such a natural connection with them. She treats my girls like they’re her own, always showing them so much love, attention, and genuine care. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that when Jen is watching them, they are not only safe but also having a great time. She’s incredibly patient and kind, and she brings such a fun, positive energy with her. Whether they’re doing crafts, playing games, or just hanging out, Jen is fully present and engaged the entire time. I’ve seen firsthand how much my girls light up when they know Jen is coming over—it’s clear they absolutely adore her. Another thing I really appreciate is how great she is with animals. We have pets in the house, and she’s always so attentive and gentle with them too, which just speaks to her overall nurturing nature.
