Hi- I’m Jen,. I’m 52 - and can’t stop loving kids! Pretty sure I can speak most languages -meaning I can get along with just about anyone (: I love active kids, being outside and watching kids thrive & “get it”- as in when I see the lightbulb come on over their head. I can equally appreciate, respect and see the beauty in an introverted child. I love and know a lot about sports and athletics and I can get the littles (& bigs) to practice and games on time and be ready to rock. I love music and if one is playing an instrument, I will make sure the practice is done. I totally get it. I played the flute for many years and have musicians in my family. What makes me a great sitter?? I love to just hang out with kids and hopefully contribute to their becoming Read more productive humans. Parents and guardians getting a break/refresher/reset is the best medicine. I’m a mom of one, grandma of two and aunt of two. CPR & BLS certified. Certified (current) Medical Assistant for the past 25 years. Let’s talk!
