A little bit about me

Greetings, my name is Jennifer and I really love kids!! I want to be a nanny because I am in the midst of a career change. I have worked as an elementary educator in Miami for fifteen years. I have been a lead gardener, soccer coach, English as a second language teacher, dance and music coach and have experience caring for all kinds of children. I was a private nanny for a family for one summer and truly enjoyed it. I have a masters degree in education from the University of Florida. I love cooking, being active, healthy, creative and artistic. I know I have the tools to provide your family with excellent caretaking services.

"Haley is my daughter. Haley worked with young children all through high school at our church. She worked in the nursery, elementary Sunday school rooms, and then with the toddlers every summer during Bible School. She also tutored elementary students after school. Haley is a very responsible young lady. I moved her from a very small town in Mississippi to New York in January 2018 to attend NYCDA. Haley has had to learn how to adapt to life in such a large city by herself without any nearby family support. In the 11 months that she has lived in New York, she has successfully attended classes and maintained a high grade point average. She has learned to navigate the city by subway almost expertly. Haley has has learned to manage her time. She has learned to budget her monthly allowance of $500. And she has had to learn to get along professionally with so many different people. It really has been a most amazing experience for her, and I cannot tell you how proud I am of her."

A little bit about me

I am currently a live-in Au Pair for three wonderful children in Milan, Italy. The children are 8, 10 and soon to be 12. I have absolutely loved my experience working with children in this way. I feel like I have been able to build a great bond between all of my kids. This is a job that suits me very well.

Prior to my move to Milan (in January), I was an analyst at Mastercard for two years based out of the flatiron office. I moved to Italy so I could have time to think about my career and what I want to do next.

So far this experience has only confirmed my prior belief that my calling is to work with children. I am still contemplating on whether or not I go back to school to pursue an early childhood education degree.

I am originally from Westchester but my mom moved to the UES when I was 17 and after graduating college in May of 2023, I spent two years living in the Bowery. New York is my home and although I have loved living abroad, I want to be closer to my nieces.
