Booked by 3 families in Elgin, TX

Hi! My name is Jenevieve. I recently moved to the Austin area from California. I enjoy working with children and family pets and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I am currently a preschool teacher in Round Rock, where I work with young children every day, helping them learn, grow, and develop through play, hands-on activities, and positive guidance. Before moving to Texas, I worked as a Nanny/Household Assistant for several wonderful families in California. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. As a mother of two grown children, I understand the importance of providing dependable, loving care. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, crafts, reading, sensory activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and transporting children to extracurricular activities. I also provided pet care for families while they were away on vacation. Whether you need an occasional babysitter, pet sitter, or an extra helping hand, I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

We had a great experience using Jen as a sitter for our two girls. They took to her right away. She was happy to prepare dinner for them and got them to bed on time. She cleaned the kitchen and straightened up before we arrived home and that was a really nice touch. We will definitely hire again. Very kind and easy to work with.
