A little bit about me
Mother of four grown children. I have been a nanny since I was 17 while going to college to earn my early education degree. I became a mom early and decided to stay home while working with children in our church daycare, and as a nanny as my kids grew. I worked as a special ed para for 3 yrs while living in MT. I love to be engaged, love outdoor activities, and anything that keeps kids active and learning through play. I have many years of experience with all ages. I’m very flexible and dependable.

"Misty is our current nanny. Misty is our family.
She has been with us for five years, and I say “us”, because not only does she take care of my children, but she holds our entire family unit together! We have extremely busy schedules with work, several sports, speech therapy, school, all the life things, and she juggles it all better than we do!
She has been a godsend to us and we could never imagine life without her. She is a dream come true for any family.
My kids thrive with her as she is extremely nurturing with both of them. My son has feeding and speech issues and she continues to be very patient and empathetic with him.
She and my five year old daughter are the best of friends and they play aaallllll day long.
On weekends all I hear is, “I miss ‘teetee’” - our given name for Misty.
FAMILIES - don’t let Misty pass you by! We are only willing to part with her a little as our youngest ventures onto kindergarten! 😊

"We had the pleasure of having Jennifer take care of our child from the time he was 3 months old until he was a little over 2 years old, and we cannot speak highly enough of her.
From the moment Jennifer joined our family, she displayed an incredible level of love, care, and dedication towards our child. Her nurturing nature and attention to detail ensured that our little one always felt safe and well-cared for under her care.
Beyond her skills and expertise in childcare, she demonstrated exceptional communication and professionalism. She was punctual, reliable, and maintained communication with us. Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for us to trust and feel comfortable leaving our child in her care.
We are truly grateful for everything Jennifer has done for our family. Her impact on our child's well-being and development is immeasurable. We have no doubt that she will excel in sheakes in the future.

"Faith worked with us as additional help for a few months as we ended up having a newborn with special needs. She was so beyond understanding and helpful with both of our boys. She did potty training and care of our 2 year old on top of the care she was providing for our newest. You can tell that she genuinely loves every second that she’s working. She’s a great problem solver who’s adaptive and just overall a sweetheart. We hope the best for her and her future endeavors."
