Hi, my name is Jen. I appreciate you taking the time to review my bio. I am looking for a family that I can grow with long term. I have 15 years of hands on experience working with infants on up. I am very trustworthy, neat, dependable, attentive and energetic. I have worked as a assistant preschool teacher, volleyball coach, tutor, caregiver and in a nursery with infants. To help them grow I like to take the children I watch to different activities. Such as libraries, parks, indoor playgrounds, reading, and doing crafts with them etc. I am CPR certified/first aid trained and I would do anything I could to help a child in need. I have an impeccable driving record and a very nice vehicle if needed. I have grown up with animals my whole life and I have a dog of my own. Thank you for your time, Jen

Miss Jen was an incredible nanny to our two boys for three years, caring for them full-time with energy, organization, and genuine warmth. She first joined us when our oldest was just six months old and seamlessly transitioned to caring for both boys a year later when our second son was born. From day one, Jen brought structure and enthusiasm, ensuring our children always had engaging, fun-filled activities to look forward to. We loved her routine-based approach, which balanced essential daily needs—snacks, meals, and naps—with enriching experiences like learning activities, playdates, and energy-zapping fun. A true self-starter, Jen took the initiative to research local events and activities, keeping our boys engaged and socialized with other kids within her nanny network. She also worked closely with us on important milestones, including potty training and sleep schedules, making these transitions smooth and stress-free. Jen quickly became more than just a nanny—she became part of our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their children, and we wholeheartedly recommend her!
