I am the ultimate babysitter because I am a mother myself! If anyone knows what kids love, It's me. I know how to cook, play pretend, play tag, hide and seek, visit the local swimming pool, swim, teach swimming, read favorite books, take lots of pictures, bird watch, go on day trips, visit museums, the zoo and the list goes on. Being a kid at heart really helps to connect with children. I rarely meet a child who doesn't like me!

Hello! I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over 25 years of paid experience, specializing in infant care and children from first grade and up. As a mother to a wonderful 20-year-old daughter, I understand firsthand the trust parents place in caregivers, and now that my own child is grown, I'm excited to share my passion for nurturing young minds. My previous family trusted me for 16 wonderful years until their children outgrew needing care, which speaks to my reliability and the meaningful relationships I build with families. I'm comfortable with all aspects of infant care including feeding, diaper changes, and sleep routines, and I love engaging elementary-age children with homework help and age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy while maintaining open communication with parents about their child's day. My extensive experience means I can handle any situation with confidence and calm, and I'm committed to respecting each family's unique parenting style and household rules. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your family's needs and would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can support your childcare needs. References available upon request.

My name is Jenny, I'm from Europe and I graduated from law school. This is my third year caring for children aged 0-10. I have more experience back in my country as I have constantly had to take care of children. I am very patient and sensitive to the needs of a child, I am organized and I always try to offer my best. Flexible with schedule and highly collaborative. I love being in an environment with children. I enjoy spending time with them but at the same time I am very responsible for their safety, well-being and entertainment. In my previous experiences I have also assisted with household chores or food preparation for the whole family.

I love baby sitting because the act of taking care of children thoroughly opens up your heart chakra! As a teen, I did lots of babysitting; I have taken care of 5 children, and 1 disabled adult. I can also cook, clean, and do laundry, as well as sing, dance, and play several musical instruments. I speak American English, British English (I have an English accent), French (B2), Spanish (B1), and a little bit of Hindi, and Arabic... I am transgender (socially, physically, and legally transitioned). I love being around children, for what better way is there to connect with that vibe that is the whole reason why I transitioned in the first place! Salam Alaikum, Hail to the Goddess, Jay Devi, Blessed Be!
