Hello mommies & daddies! My name is Jennifer but my tiny pals call me Jenni! I am the oldest of 5, a mom of 3 & a graduate in the field of Early Childhood Education. I am currently employed with the Department of Education. I have a soft spot for the youth and plan to dedicate the rest of my life to teaching them for as long as I can. I have completed a background check with the Department of Education and have a ton of references on hand for anyone interested! I am currently not on the hunt for a job as a nanny but will happily take being a sitter on your contact list! What you can expect: Singing & laughing, personal ukulele session for your little, arts & crafts (when possible), baking (when possible), loads of prompting and dialogue.
Trust & safety
We encourage parents to conduct their own screenings using the background check tools. See what each of the badges covered, or learn more about keeping your family safe by visiting the Trust & Safety Center.

Jennifer was an absolute pleasure! We needed last minute care, which can be so stressful, but Jennifer made the process painless. She arrived on time and asked appropriate questions to ensure that the day would run smoothly. Jennifer sang songs, read books and played with our baby. She handled bottle feeding, diapering and nap time with ease. She even brought a baby art project, which was adorable! We have already reached out for her to come back again. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a babysitter.

Jennifer watched my 1 year old son and did an amazing job. She interacted very well with him and he was very responsive to her. She follows directions well and also knows when to take the initiative. Will definitely hire her again.
