A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Jenny and enthusiastic mother with a love for living and learning and who’s better to do that with than children. I pride myself on being a very mature adult who still is able to put on her imagination goggles. I’m a people person and being that makes me a child person. I’m a creator as well as a breast cancer survivor, so I do enjoy my time being here and I do try to make it enjoyable for others. I have a teenage son as well as a seven-year-old, so I’m pretty experienced with being around children as well as coming from a large family of nine. I’ve worked at centers around Boston and Cambridge with children’s after school programs as well as daycares & now that I am fully healed from breast cancer, I am trying to fill my schedule as well as some of my pockets and I would love doing that with something that feels less like work which is being a nanny. Look forward to interacting with you and your children feel free to ask any questions.

A little bit about me

Being a nanny, especially one who works with infants, is a privilege that I do not take lightly and I appreciate the chance to support families during this big change. Across my almost 10-year career, I have worked full-time in a daycare center and six private homes, primarily with newborns and toddlers.

I find joy in creating spaces that engage my little ones, planning activities that incorporate all areas of children's development, and seeing the outcomes of those efforts. Outside of the traditional nanny role, I received my birth and post-partum certifications from DONA International in 2021. Since then, I have attended two births and continue to volunteer assisting families in need of support. In 2023 I completed my Newborn Care Specialist training via Newborn Care Solutions to deepen my understanding of newborns, especially those born prematurely and with additional medical needs
