A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jennifer Meng, but you can call me, Jen! I live in Duluth, MN. I am currently a senior at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, majoring in Marketing and Professional Sales, and I plan to stay in Duluth after graduation. I was born and raised in the Twin Cities, MN and moved to Duluth in 2023. I am a first generation Cambodian & Chinese-American. While I am a business student, I have worked in Montessori early childhood education since I was 16. I am now 21 and (still!) currently work part-time as a Montessori Teaching Assistant while attending college full-time. I love Montessori!! I am a hardworking, fun and caring, responsible caregiver with years of paid experience in nannying, babysitting, pet sitting, housekeeping, and plant care. I am certified in First Aid and CPR for infants, children, and adults. I also own a car, have a valid driver’s license, and love arts & crafts, and hobbies!!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

[phone number hidden]: Step By Step Montessori Schools (Assistant Guide, Children’s House/Pre-School Age 3-6 Years Old)

2024-Currently: Montessori School of Duluth (Assistant Guide, Children’s House/Pre-School Age 3-6 Years Old, Young Children's Community/Toddler Age 12m-3y)

2021-Currently: Babysat for various families on weekends and on occasion; in-home nannying experience with only 1-2 kids at a time, have experience with newborns/babies, toddlers, pre-school aged children.

I love doing arts and crafts, music and reading with the kiddos!! I love taking them on local kid-friendly outings as well such as going to the zoo or aquarium, and the children’s museum! Love spending time outside as well, all year round! I love being able to practice my Montessori-style teaching skills. I try to be flexible and communicative, to the best of my abilities.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts & Crafts: Child-led, hands-on activities like painting, air-dry clay, collages, origami, and drawing, with a focus on creativity and fine motor development. I can bring my own supplies if needed!

Music: Singing, listening, and exploring sound together. I can bring my guitar, ukulele, and piano-keyboard for fun, age-appropriate music time.

Reading: Calm, quiet, and cozy story times that support language, imagination, and a love of books.

Outdoors & Outings: Nature walks, outdoor play, and simple outings that encourage curiosity, movement, and independence.

Life Skills: Everyday practical skills like getting ready, toileting, cleaning, and simple food prep, which are core Montessori values.

Connection & Communication: I aim to create a warm, respectful environment with clear boundaries and routines. I value trust, emotional awareness, and open communication with families.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a trusting, respectful relationship with both the child and their family. I believe in providing consistency, supporting learning and growth, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow independently. Strong communication, patience, and relationship-building are essential to making this partnership successful.

My hourly rate is negotiable. Please message me! I accept cash, checks or paypal/venmo/zelle, as payment forms.

Please message me to set up an interview/meeting!

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with multiple children with special needs in classroom settings. I believe in meeting each child where they are and adapting my approach to their individual needs, strengths, and learning style.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I quickly learned how to care for a newborn and a toddler at the same time, which was a challenge at first but ultimately an incredibly rewarding, fun, and life-changing experience. I loved working with a family in a longer-term role and truly getting to know them while helping wherever I could. I am very grateful for their flexibility, support, and the mutual respect and understanding we shared.

I am able to pet sit on weekends &/or overnights. I have experience with plant care, light house keeping, commuting (pick ups/drop offs) .. etc.
