A little bit about me

I'm a life long Missourian currently living in St. Louis. While the crux of my career has been in government and organizing work, caring for kiddos has been a consistent attribute throughout my life. From growing up helping run our church's Sunday daycare service, being my kid brother's full-time sitter during the summers, and assisting family friends to currently coaching a youth rock climbing team and assisting in caregiving needs for my newly adopted special needs sibling-- I experience caring for kids that dates back ten years.

I'm always thinking up new games and creative ways to teach and entertain, but I also know the value of being organized and following rules when needed.

I have experience working with kids who have physical and mental disabilities, and I'm CPR certified. When I'm not working, you can likely find me out trying a new restaurant, rock climbing, or playing with my pup.

I'm excited about the chance to nanny full time and realign my work with my passions.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jennifer, I graduated Ball State University in the summer of 2018 with a degree in Journalism Graphics. I spent the past year working in graphic design and marketing, but found myself missing my work with children. During high school and college I spent my summers working at a Girl Scout camp. I also spent a lot of time babysitting throughout the years and teaching swim lessons. With that I spent my college years lifeguarding, until last May I was a dual certified Lifeguard and Lifeguard Instructor for both Red Cross and Star Guard.

A little bit about me

If you need tutoring, special ed support, or behavior support let me help you! I have a degree in Special Education and am certified SPED- pk-12 with experience 6 weeks+ - 18yrs. I've been working with children for 9 years starting in high school taking early childhood education classes, moving into working at Montessori schools, a special education teacher, and now a behavior specialist.

Working with children is my passion and I specifically love working with children with behavior struggles and to work on curbing those behaviors! I've worked with SPD, ADHD, ASD, and other cognitive and learning disabilities. I heavily believe in using positive behavior supports for behavior and I tend to focus on social and emotional learning a great deal.

If you have any questions please let me know and I can get you access to my references ASAP!
