We are first time parents and coming to the realization that we would need to hire someone to care for our new baby boy was tough. The idea of leaving him with someone we didn’t know was very anxiety provoking until we met Jennifer. When we met Jennifer for the first time I was blown away by how comfortable I felt with her right away, but more importantly by how our over tired 5 month old was all smiles too. Jennifer is wonderful with our son. She engages him in activities to aid in his development on a daily basis. She is kind and caring and I can see the positive impact on our son. We are incredibly thankful to have Jennifer as our nanny.

Jen has been nannying for our 5 month old son since I went back to work about 4 weeks ago. I was very hesitant to leave my baby with a "stranger" and we interviewed several candidates before we hired Jen. She has been WONDERFUL and I couldn't have asked for a better person to be caring for him. She is patient, very attentive, and tracks his activity for me daily. I even get pictures while at work! Our son is developing very well and I credit a lot of that to Jen. She works with him everyday (tummy time, learning videos, reading books). Our son gets a huge smile on his face when he sees Jen and that makes me feel very at ease. I would definitely recommend her for nanny or babysitting opportunities…but you MAY NOT steal her ;)

Jennifer was wonderful with our six-year-old! Communication was excellent, she arrived early, and even brought fun activities to do as well. We recommend her to anyone!
