Hi There! I am looking for a nanny position that starts in September. I am a mom to a teenager, I taught First grade and Kindergarten for 24 years, and have had several years of experience as a nanny. I am currently taking care of a 2 1/2-year-old. She is going to preschool in the Fall so I am looking for another job. I love pets! I have a chocolate lab and 2 cats! I enjoy being outside-rain or shine! I also love doing art activities, baking, building things, taking your kids on adventures, and reading books. I look forward to hearing from you! Jen
Jen was our nanny for two years, caring for our daughter from 10 months old through 2.5 years old, and we cannot recommend her enough. Jen is incredibly nurturing, patient, and flexible. From the very beginning, she created a warm, loving environment that made our daughter comfortable. She always met our daughter where she was developmentally and approached every stage with kindness and understanding. One of the things we appreciated most was Jen’s dedication to enriching our daughter’s days. She spent time reading with her every day, taught her songs, and incorporated learning naturally into play. Her background as an elementary school teacher was an asset in this. It was always fun to come home and see our daughter doing something for the first time - putting together a puzzle, starting to count, or making hand motions from songs they had sung. Jen also made it a priority to get outside every day, rain or shine. Whether it was a walk, playground visit, or going down the hill to stomp in the puddles, she helped foster our daughter’s curiosity and love of nature. During the time she was with our family, Jen became a trusted and valued part of our lives. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and joy she brought to our daughter’s early years. We recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a wonderful caregiver!
