Hello. My name is Jennifer, and I am 26 years old. I specialize in newborn and infant care. I can't imagine ever wanting to do anything other than care for babies. I joke with my tech savvy friends that I would prefer a crying baby over a glitching computer any day of the week. I have almost 3 years of experience being a live-in and live-out nanny for two beautiful, healthy, and energetic baby boys. I loved reading to them, singing and dancing with them, taking them out for nature walks and going to educational places like the aquarium. I am certified in infant, child, and adult CPR/AED/First Aid. I have also received training in S.I.D.S prevention and Shaken Baby Syndrome prevention. I also have almost 3 years of professional experience as an infant and toddler preschool teacher.
