A little bit about me

I have been a career nanny for 31 years. Children are my passion and have been since I was a child myself. I started babysitting at age 12, worked in day care starting at age 16 while participating in my high schools ECD Co-op program. In 1995 when I became a mother, I made the move to being a private nanny. I have 6 children of my own and 8 grandchildren (so far!).
I have a year and a half of nursing school as well. I love the outdoors: hiking, biking, swimming and anything to do with the arts. I enjoy painting, singing and acting in community theater in my free time as well as going to concerts and the ballet. I am extremely patient and warm, I have great communication skills and work in tandem with the parents in all aspects of the children's care. I am flexible, dependable and overtly punctual.

"Jenie was very hands on and active with the children. She quickly became an important extension of our family,. She took the kids to and from school, tutored them, took them on field trips during school holidays and on occasion even filled in for doctor visits when I was unable to take off of work. In addition to meeting the kids' needs she assisted with keeping the kids' areas clean and at times would get dinner started due to my erratic work schedule."

"Jennifer was an absolute dream!! A unicorn of a nanny!! She was professional and playful. She taught my children so much and made sure they were inline for all the major and minor milestones! I wish I'd had more children just so we could keep her! When she started, we had just 1 infant and I was very nervous about returning to work. Jen made the transition so smooth and after only a few weeks, I knew that my baby was in the best hands when she couldn't be in mine. She stayed with us for 7 years and 3 children until I was relocated for work. We've stayed in touch over the years, and I consider her not only the best nanny I've ever had the pleasure of hiring, but she's also a friend!"

More About Me

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

Aside from being a career nanny and raising 6 children of my own, I have watched friend's children many times over the years and I've enjoyed watching a few of my now grown nanny kid's children!!
I have also done a lot of work in the church nursery and in past years, the childcare center at my gym.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Spending time outside; nature is a fantastic teacher and there are so many lessons to be found!! I enjoy going to play places, the park and the library with the children I work with. Listening to and singing music, creating art and making crafts (kiwi kits are AWESOME!!) Special visits to museums, the planetarium and the science place are also fun!! I'm an avid reader and make sure to carve out time to read with the children every day.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping children feel good about themselves and who they are as growing humans. Having open communication with the parents so that we work in tandem is a must for me!

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children on the autism spectrum as well as children with behavioral issues. I've handled many chronic health related issues as well, such as diabetes and asthma.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Seeing a former NKs become parents!!
