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

I have been a nanny since the early 2000's. I graduated nursing school but never pursued my degree due to my mother getting cancer and taking care of her. I then took care of kids and adult family members who had different illnesses. I love kids and would be happy to provide multiple family references of those I worked for.
