About Jennifer
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! I've been "Mama Jenn" for many of my friends' children, in addition to being a teacher and professional nanny. I highly respect the perspectives of children and enjoy doing art projects, playing games, reading, writing, and going on nature walks with them. Kids describe me as: nice, funny, sweet, gentle, awesome, competitive, kind, and smart. Families I work with say that I'm calm, organized, creative, thoughtful, and reliable. I earned an MA in English Education and an MFA in Creative Writing and have taught K-12, college, and adult writing classes for 30 years. I served as Education Director for an arts and writing organization and as Summer Arts Camp Director for ages 6-14. I've taught yoga, meditation, creative writing, creative movement, art, and Lego physics classes. I love being engaged in the learning process with children, from potty training to poetry. I look forward to being a supportive presence for you and your dear ones. BIPOC & LGBTQ families welcome!

Ms. Jen is truly an exceptional nanny, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our children’s lives. She goes above and beyond every day not only caring for our kids, but creating meaningful, fun, and enriching experiences for them. Our kids absolutely adore her, and we love how much she incorporates nature, outdoor adventures, creativity, and yoga into their days. She makes learning and staying active feel effortless and exciting, while always providing the patience, kindness, and care our children need. She is also wonderful at keeping our home organized and running smoothly, which is such an incredible help to our family. She is dependable, thoughtful, proactive, and treats our children with so much love and genuine care. Ms. Jen has become such a special part of our family, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children
