Nanny shares, the best of both worlds

The Sylvester Family
We chose a nanny share because it allowed us to make sure that our child was getting great, individual attention from a person that we could trust while helping us to manage costs. We couldn't afford to have one nanny, and found another family that was in a similar situation and shared our values.

A little bit about me

I’m a warm, reliable nanny with over 5 years of professional childcare experience, caring for children from 4 months to 9 years old. Supporting children’s growth–emotionally, socially, and creatively–is work I genuinely love and take seriously.
Growing up in a family of 7 gave me early hands-on experience caring for younger siblings and navigating busy household dynamics. While my professional experience is my foundation, those early years helped shape the patience, adaptability, and intuition I bring to my work today.
I studied psychology at Penn State University for two years, and plan to continue studies in CA, with the goal of earning my PhD. I’m especially interested in child development and emotional wellbeing, which strongly influences how I interact with and support children.
In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, skateboarding, writing, arts and crafts, hiking, and cuddling with my cat. I’m happy to provide references and would love to learn more about what you’re looking for.

A little bit about me

I am 28 years old, from Detroit, Michigan. I studied in Texas and now live in sunny California. I love fashion and social media and spending time with my church. I have worked with many different people, cultures and language barriers. Growing up in church I have always had a passion for people and community and service. These were just stepping stones into my future career after school. Once my position moved into a more professional role, I have been able to work with many high net worth and high profile families. I excel at following tasks and lists, as well as running things efficiently on my own and managing my clients home life, children, appointments etc. I wear many hats in my role and have had to manage multiple children and adults while being punctual and efficient. I love to work hard and have room to grow with my future family. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s about making a difference in the lives we connect and grow with.

"I am a Co-Director of CFL Kids' Camp, a one-week resident camp for abused children, ages 7-11, of which Jennifer volunteered for a few summers. She was responsible for 1 or 2 young girls, 24/7, throughout her week at camp. I found her to be highly responsible and very engaged with her campers. She is a sweet girl and very independent. I have lost touch with her over the past few years as she moved out-of-State. My dealings with her are favorable and I wish her the best on her quest for seeking a position with your firm."
