Meet Jennifer

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am a very "young at heart," non-smoking, single mother of one, 22yr. old University of Washington Senior (4.0 GPA!). I have over 30 years of sitting/nanny experience, having watched all ages - newborn through teen - including special needs, and up to four children at a time. I was certified in CPR & First Aid when I worked as a Girl Scout Camp Counselor.  I also love animals, so have no problems with pets - cats or dogs. I grew up on the NW side of Chicago, graduated with honors from Mother Guerin Girls High School in River Grove, IL (now Guerin Prep.), & attended several different colleges (including early childhood education coursework). I love children & always want them in my life... They keep me young! I am extremely flexible with days & hours, and don't have many restrictions there.  My schedule is currently wide open, and I Read more am able to work any "shift" - including overnights (single evening, extended stay, oral as baby nurse). I do have a safe vehicle, and valid Driver's License; I have no problem with pick-ups & drop-offs, or errand running. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your needs, my experience, & my reference contact information. Thank you in advance, for your consideration. Jennifer G. 7 7 3 . 4 1 9 . 4 4 1 1

Jennifer has been our regular sitter for about two months and we couldn't be happier. Jennifer is extremely flexible, very responsive, and really seems to enjoy being around our 1 year old son. Most importantly, we trust her and know our son is happy in her care.
