Meet Jennifer
- Comfortable with pets
I am an arts-embracing, music & dance-loving, playful, creative, compassionate, & intuitive childcare worker. I am patient, nurturing, gentle, & firm. I have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens, as a nanny, dance instructor, summer camp program coordinator, after-school youth worker/Lead, & youth mentor. My last child-care job was homeschooling a small pod of preschoolers mid-pandemic using Maria Montessori curriculum. I am attentive, I focus on getting to know children & meeting them where their particular needs & interests are. I like to be really present & engage on their level. I do well with giving structure & routine to the day with enough wiggle room for creativity & flow. I like to spend lots of time outside when the weather permits it & I make pretty good forts. I am currently working at a restaurant & looking to pick up Read more a part-time child-care job. I am vaccinated & boosted, & still choosing to wear a mask in most public spaces. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Jennifer is amazing! She has such a warm, friendly demeanor with our two young boys. I love her creative spirit and willingness to paint, go "alien hunting". More importantly, she is always on time and responsive to babysitting inquiries. So glad we found her on Sitter City.

Jennifer is a great babysitter! My husband and I have used her three times now for date nights. She is always prompt and has excellent communication skills. I would definitely recommend her to my friends!

Jenn is really nice, and she is really laid back, which is great for my kids because they are non-stop balls of energy! She is always right on time, and responds very quickly to messages. I know we are just going to like her more and more ;)

Our family is is town for the holidays and we used Jennifer twice so far. Jennifer was AMAZING with my two girls aged 4 and 8. My daughters can't stop talking about her and asking to have her back again. Jennifer was super friendly and really present while playing all the games and crafts with my girls. I would highly recommend her for the care of your children and I hope to use her again soon.
