A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Jeanine, and I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for children. As a dedicated stay-at-home mom, of 6, (4 of my own and my 2 stepdaughters) I've raised my own children while creating a loving, structured, and nurturing environment where they could grow and thrive.

In addition to that, I've worked as a nanny/house manager for a family for over 10 years, supporting children of various ages and becoming a trusted, consistent presence in their lives. I truly love working with kids and take pride in being kind, attentive, patient, and dependable.

I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and encouraged. Whether it's helping with daily routines, engaging in creative play, or simply offering comfort and care, I'm fully present and committed to their well-being.

warmly,
Jeanine

More About Me

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

I also worked at Tiny Topa Preschool here in Ojai for one year, caring for children ranging in age from 18 months to 3 years old. This experience allowed me to further develop my skills in supporting young children’s daily routines, learning, development, and social growth in a nurturing preschool environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a variety of fun and age-appropriate activities with little ones, including coloring, painting, puzzles, games, reading books, imaginative play, and spending time outdoors. I love encouraging creativity, learning, and exploration while making sure the children are engaged, having fun, and feel safe and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is making sure a child feels safe, loved, heard, and cared for. Building a trusting relationship with the child and being someone they can depend on is so important to me. I also believe in supporting the parents and being a reliable, helpful presence for the whole family. My goal is to make their lives a little easier while giving their children the love, attention, and care they deserve.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with special needs. I have cared for a child with autism since he was a baby, which has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, consistency, and individualized care. I have learned to pay close attention to each child’s unique needs, communication style, routines, and comfort level. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel understood, accepted, and cared for, while also working closely with their parents to provide consistent and reliable support.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny is when a child I’ve cared for becomes so comfortable and connected with me that they naturally reach for me, want to sit beside me, or get excited when I walk through the door. Those little moments mean so much to me because they remind me that I’ve become someone they trust and feel safe with. Watching a child grow, learn, and become more confident while knowing I’ve been a small part of that journey is one of the most rewarding parts of being a nanny.
