A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Jenn, and I have a genuine love for kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I went to school for teaching, which gave me a strong understanding of child development and learning, and I also worked closely with a family for four years in a role that required trust, flexibility, and consistency. I love travel, new experiences, and bringing a positive, caring energy into the homes of the families I work with. I’d love the opportunity to support a family and create a fun, dependable, and nurturing environment for their children.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to my love for working with children, I went to school for teaching, which gave me a strong foundation in child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate support. I also worked for a family for four years in a role that required trust, consistency, flexibility, and helping support the day-to-day needs of family life. I have also cared for children in more personal and hands-on settings, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and supported.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a wide variety of activities with children depending on their age and interests. I love games, crafts, outdoor play, going to the park, imaginative play, reading, and simple learning activities that keep children engaged while also helping them grow. I also enjoy being active with kids, whether that is playing outside, doing sports-related activities, or just finding fun ways to keep them moving and entertained.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment for the children in your care. It is about more than just supervision — it is about building trust, supporting a child’s growth, helping them feel seen and valued, and being someone both the children and parents can rely on. I believe a great nanny brings patience, warmth, consistency, and genuine care into a child’s everyday life.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with autistic children, and that has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, understanding, and meeting each child where they are. I understand that every child is unique, and I always aim to create an environment where they feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged. I believe in learning each child’s individual needs, strengths, and communication style so I can care for them in the best way possible.

The most important part about being a nanny...

O ne of my favorite nanny moments was when I worked for a family with twin boys and their younger brother. Every day with them was an adventure, full of energy, laughter, and surprises. But one moment I will always remember is when they wrote me a special song for my birthday. One of the twins played guitar while the other two sang. It was incredibly thoughtful and sweet, and it meant so much to me because it showed the bond we had built together.
