Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am an experienced sitter with a genuine passion for caring for children. I like to create a safe and engaging environment where kids can thrive and my experience working with children of various ages and backgrounds has equipped me with a deep understanding of their needs and interests.

I have been babysitting for 20+ years along with nannying jobs throughout that time. I have always enjoyed playing with and caring for children. I am a mother to my almost 3 year old son, who loves playing with other kids while also having a good understanding of taking turns and using gentle play. I've been a cheerleading and dance coach as well as tumbling instructor for 15 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in dance, and I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with children and adolescents. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Illinois for 5 years in practice. I work part time as a telehealth therapist in the evenings and on Thursdays and Fridays. I have Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays reserved for at-home one on one time with my son, but we are looking for more kids and laughter to fill our home on those days. I like to keep the little ones in my care active and engaged while at the same time respectfully reinforcing guidelines and specific instructions that are set by each family. Some additional information on how I care for babies, toddlers, and children: I am great with finding creative activities to do indoors on rainy days but LOVE outdoor activities for when it is nice outside! We live walking distance from a park and have a secure wagon with seatbelts. I am truly fascinated in the development of children both cognitively and emotionally. I enjoy interacting with them as they learn and experience new things! I can also prepare nutritious meals and snacks in our smoke-free, pet-free home.
