Nanny Lane is an easy and safe place for finding child care
My name is Jennifer, I am 22 years old and finishing up my last semester online before graduating with my Bachelors degree in Health Sciences in May. I plan on continuing my education at College of Central Florida’s nursing program afterwards. I have 5 years of experience with children, three years in Gainesville & two years in Tampa. I also worked at a daycare in Gainesville, Florida as well as nannied/babysat for multiple families and worked with kids from ages 4 months - 12years old. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like a copy of my references!
I'm Jessica and I've been instructing/helping others since I was a teenager. I received a scholarship from the National Retired Educators Association and obtained my BA in Elem Ed with a minor in ASL.
My student teaching was in a third grade classroom with a wide range of abilities/technologies. I have worked from preK-high school, mainstream ed through special needs (physically, mentally, emotionally, advanced needs such as dementia/Alzheimer's) as well as ESOL students. I have substitute taught and worked with all subjects in all grade levels. I enjoy arts and crafts, learning anything new, hiking, sight seeing and out doors as well as reading to children.
Since then, I have helped to raise my nieces and nephews as well as run an infant care room at a day care center. I have worked with children, including twins, and adults of all age ranges and abilities. I have also worked in group homes with mentally and physically challenged adults and assisted several family members and friends with their needs and/or medical issues. I am also CPR/First Aid certified and have successfully handled a multitude of crises.
Almost all of my previous positions (whether they are child care related, working with the mentally challenged, house/pet sitting) have included some measure of cleaning. Whether it be light, daily dusting to deep cleaning, there are few things that I have not cleaned or organized (refrigerators, microwaves, toasters/toaster ovens, home interiors, children's rooms, porches). It gives me a sense of fulfillment to help others organize and keep up with the little (and big) things.
In my down time, I pet sit and help my friend and her family with their private animal rescue. It is very rewarding to help. I am always willing to learn something new when it comes to feeding and caring for animals.
I would be glad to assist you in any way I can. Please contact me for any further questions. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Jessica

A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.
Learn more about nanny shareKayla was a great babysitter. She helped take care of Gustavito when I had a last minute summer session class to teach in May. A coteacher if mine introduced me to her. She took care of him and made sure he was never bored while I was at work. It was only for a month but I would definitely hire her again to take care of Gustavo - Phillip
