Jenny

Hi. I’m Jenny. I’m a mother of 2 wonderful children, Grant 36 yrs and Renee 33. They have made me very proud to be their mum and even prouder to be a grandmother to their beautiful Children. I have six Grandchildren who I absolutely adore. My family are very close and involved in each other’s lives whether it be a sleep over at nanny and poppys, soccer games, football games, gymnastics, swimming lessons or as simple as face-time to see how everybody’s day was. From my early twenties I have always looked after/ cared for other children from as young as 3 weeks old up to 15 years old. Within the past 10 years I have fostered a family of 5 children from the same family, the youngest being 1 years old and the oldest 10 years for a period of approximately 3 months. I have been an in-home-care educator for several different families over the past 13 years and currently I provide relief In-home-care teaching for a number of other educators. I love working with children and I particularly enjoy watching them learn and grow. Each and every one of them are unique and different in their own ways and I learn from them too. I love to see them shine in their own little ways and they all have something wonderful to offer. I look forward to meeting your family x
