A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Jenna Lenssen, and I’m a dependable, caring, and energetic nanny with a true passion for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages and always strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can thrive. I'm patient, organized, and proactive—happy to assist with daily routines, playtime, homework help, light housekeeping, and meal prep. I believe in encouraging creativity, kindness, and learning through play. I’m excited about the opportunity to support your family and provide loving care for your little ones! I recently moved to Washington from Montana, where I worked as a full-time nanny for two years, caring for four amazing kids. I am currently a part time nanny to three kids under 5- working Mondays and Wednesdays. I also recently had my first, his name is Jack, and he loves hanging out with the kiddos! I truly believe that caring for children is my calling! I would love the opportunity to meet your family!

A little bit about me
Hello! I have been nannying since I moved here in 2018 for college. I have not added every job I have worked, because some have been only for short amount of times, due to situations such as covid outbreaks and job changes. I have worked with kiddos from 0-12 and I adore every age - especially infants! I was going to Western to earn a degree in Elementary Education, but recently left the program. Working with young kids is my biggest passion. Meeting a family to connect with and become part of their family is an amazing experience. I am looking forward to hearing from you, and to see if I would be a good fit for your needs.

A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Levi, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in developmental psychology. I have been working with children since my teens, and it is one of my favorite things. I love being able to connect with and show care to children- I think we can learn new things from them everyday, and it is such a rewarding experience. I have experience as a special education paraprofessional to a five year old, as well as being a camp counselor in a more generalized setting with the same age group (though I have also been a more general classroom aid to older age groups). I love playing games with kids and sharing interests with them- it is so cool to be able to watch them do what they are passionate about and see their face light up with a smile while they do it.
