Meet Jenny
- Comfortable with pets
I grew up in the British countryside surrounded by horses, which sparked my lifelong passion for outdoors learning. I am a creative, inquisitive and empathic person who enjoys fostering children's natural curiosity, with specific strengths in building language and providing special needs support. My professional foundation includes volunteering and working in service of vulnerable populations, then rigorous training as an under 5s teacher in a forest school and setting with a high proportion of special needs. When I’m not helping with my local animal shelter or therapeutic riding project, I am an avid gardener and history reader. I am open to occasional babysitting, petsitting, and household help. For your peace of mind, I hold a current adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR certification, TB and Tdap/MMR clearances, and a consistent history of passing international police background checks. Recommendations are also available upon request.
