About Jenna

Experience: 10 yrs

As a preschool teacher, I've spent years creating safe, engaging environments where kids feel seen and supported. I'm also currently completing coursework through UC Santa Barbara's Child Life Specialist program, which has deepened my understanding of child development, coping, and how to support kids emotionally - not just supervise them. I've spent four summers volunteering at an orphanage in China, working closely with children with disabilities. I've also volunteered at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. I'm a mom of three, so I understand firsthand what it takes to keep kids engaged, safe, and happy, day in and day out. I bring patience, warmth, and a genuine love of connecting with kids at their level. Whether it's engaging them in play, helping with routines, or just being a calm, steady presence, I care about making sure each child feels safe and valued in my care. * Rate reflects care for 1-2 children; please reach out to discuss rates for larger groups.

I can't say enough amazing things about Jenna! Children love her because she is warm, responsive, and empathetic, and because she also knows how to set clear, age-appropriate boundaries. This combination helps children quickly feel safe and at home with her. Adults love her because she is a very thoughtful, caring, and reliable person. She cares deeply about her relationships and her work. She also makes teaching and caregiving look easy, calmly shifting from interacting with children, to juggling routines and schedules, to staying on top of the million other things that come with being a teacher and parent. She's also excellent at staying grounded when challenging behaviors arise and calmly helping children navigate big emotions. Any family would be lucky to work with Jenna.
