Hi - My name is Jennifer and I'm currently transitioning back into working in real estate while spending quality time with family in Illinois(from CA). I'm offering child care, household, and pet care services. I have always enjoyed caring for children and have been trusted as a babysitter/nanny since my years back in high school. My experience spans over 15 years. I have experience in child care as well as real estate. I'm patient, responsible, easy-going, and mature. Over the years, I have been a part of three families in the capacity of a nanny and I worked consistently with each for 5+ years watching their families grow. It's been such a joy to share in the memories with my families. I genuinely enjoy being around and caring for children so I consider it a blessing to be able to do so while pursuing other interests. In my spare time, Read more I tend to indulge in classic novels/books of the self-improvement genre, researching health and wellness, and stay active outdoors. Pets are an added bonus for me. I have a tortoiseshell cat companion myself that I adore and I simply adore animals all around. I believe emotional health is incredibly important and my philosophy stresses the importance of respect, open and honest communication, and creative coping mechanisms for emotions. I think that fostering an environment and a relationship where your kids feel comfortable coming to you with their thoughts, feelings, and problems is ideal. Their emotions need to be acknowledged/validated and their bodies taught to be their sacred safe space. I am always interested in listening to parents take on parenting styles, beliefs, and preferred discipline methods.There is no greater compliment to me than to be someone a parent can trust to care for their children.
