Hello, My name is Jen Bergum and I grew up in Minnesota. I moved to New York 3 years ago for acting. I started babysitting at the ripe old age of 9 for the neighborhood kids and children of my parents friends. I am responsible, hard working, respectful and fun. I love cooking, baking, taking walks or jogs through the parks, theatre, books (I especially like reding children's books with all the voices), movies, hiking and outdoor sports and life. I have 6 nieces and nephews who are the absolute joy of my life back home whom I love to skype with and see in person once or twice a year. I am CPR certified and know the Heimlich maneuver. I adore children and pets (if you have them, great!) and believe we can learn as much from the children in our worlds as they can from us!
