Being a caretaker for children of various ages and disabilities is who I am! I have been babysitting and/or nannying for about 10 years now and started mothers helping even longer (10+ years). I am only 27years old, however I have a lot of experience and highly recommended. I am skilled in arts and crafts, dramatic play, structured play, some sports, tutoring, potty training, CPR/first aid, cooking, cleaning, and rule enforcement (if asked by parent/guardians). I am a Registered Nurse, with a NY license. I also have a degree from Endicott College in Beverly MA. I originally was a Special Education major, gaining a lot of knowledge in child development, learning techniques, and positive reinforcement. However, I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Health Science, and a minor in Psychology. I have a lot of exposure to children with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism, emotional disabilities, and much more. I Read more have my EMT certification, where I was trained in emergency medicine and first aid I am hoping to grow with the child/children and their families who choose me to be their caretaker. I am 100% there for the children and hope to be a positive role model and new addition to your family!!

Jenna was so excellent with our twins! With Jenna's sunny, warm personality, our 22 month olds took to her immediately. I felt fully confident of her abilities to handle anything. She was always prompt for her shifts, and timely in communicating her availability. She really cleaned (not just straightened) our house, and took initiative to run and fold laundry. She would leave our home looking better than how it was when she arrived! Jenna was great with taking the kids outdoors and making up fun indoor projects. I appreciated not having to preplan meals for the twins, as Jenna is adept at creating a balanced menu on her own. My kids are still talking about her., wondering when if she's coming. I so appreciated having Jenna with her excellent childcare skills, and would love to have her back again any time!
