I have plenty of patience, which helps me take care of children. My two sons are older now. As children, they were very active, so nothing should surprise me! I am so thankful that I was able to be a "stay-at-home" mom. I also kept busy helping local charities through a local social organization. My care-giving philosophy: load on the TLC, along with patience and the "watchful eye" that is cruciaI! I like playing with whatever toys and games the children like, reading to/with them, seeing that they get physical activity, etc. Their well-being is my top priority. I am good with pets, too. My only limitation is that I cannot be in a home where smokers live, due to my sensitivity to smoke (fresh or old).

Jen is the most honest, patient, caring, nurturing, and experienced people I've ever met in reguards to children. There's no replacement for someone watching your children than another mother, especially one who goes out of her way to make activities, mealtimes, learning, playing more creative and enriching than most people. She often time, even when not "working" to offer help/support/rides,etc.whenever we needed it.I will always look to her for guidance when faced with mothering questions, for her patience is unmatched, as is her genuine passion for helping others. I've never met someone so invested in helping do all she can to encourage the healthy growth of my daughter. She is talked about every day at our house, even though we don't get to see her as often as we used to! I would love someone to ask me for a reference for her, but I may keep them on the phone for hours bragging about how in awe of her as a caregiver, friend, and family member she will always be to us. much love and aloha, emily and amaya dietz
