Hi, my name is Jennifer. Taking care of children is my passion and what I am meant to do in life. I am a loving and creative mother of 2 older children who are in school full time. I babysat for friends and family my whole life, which grew into being a nanny. I have +10 years experience. I worked at an in home daycare for 2 years and have branched out on my own. I watch children in my home now and provide everything they need in a day. Keeping a safe and healthy environment is very important to me. I'm very flexible and accommodating to my families because I know the struggle. I help children meet their milestones by incorporating age defined curriculum such as learning activities, reading and puzzles. We also do arts & crafts, dramatic play, and take walks/outdoor play when weather permits. I am CPR Read more & First Aid certified along with vaccinated against COVID 19.
