Hi! I'm Claire & I've been a nanny for the last 20 years, working with 15 families & 24 kids between the ages of 8 weeks & 16 years. My favorite age to work with are toddlers-they're so curious & constantly learning! I strongly believe in teaching kids to express their feelings in healthy ways, while treating the others around them with kindness & respect. I'm enthusiastic about outdoor adventures, creative indoor activities, & learning through play! Pets are important members of families & I'm very animal friendly! However, I am allergic to cats & have a hard time working in homes especially with multiple cats &/or longhairs for extended periods.
“Claire is a warm and caring nanny! She is dependable and reliable. She cared for my children starting when they were newborns and is still a trusted adult for my 18 year old. She's wonderful with kids of any age and very patient with kids who have high needs (like my neurodivergent youngest child).”
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY Experienced and compassionate professional nanny and caregiver with 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting newborns, infants, toddlers, and families in both private-home and clinical care settings. Background as a Hospice CNA, full-time mother, and trauma-informed yoga instructor brings a calm, safety-focused, and emotionally attuned approach to childcare. Skilled in overnight care, live-in support, household management, meal preparation, and routines. Known for reliability, discretion, and creating environments where children feel secure, regulated, and nurtured. CORE CARE SKILLS • Newborn & infant care (feeding, sleep routines, soothing) • Multiple young children & sibling dynamics • Overnight & live-in care availability • Emotional regulation & trauma-informed care • Meal planning, preparation & feeding support • Light housekeeping, laundry & home organization • Routine building, schedules & transitions • Calm de-escalation & safety-first supervision • Parent communication & daily updates
“I cannot say enough good things about Jenna. From the moment she walked in, she brought ease, warmth, and confidence to our home. As a new mom, I was anxious about leaving my infant with anyone. Jenna quickly became the only person I trusted. She is intuitive with children, dependable, thoughtful, and always goes above and beyond. Her kindness is unmatched. She will be an invaluable presence in any family’s life.”
I am dependable, patient, and caring, with experience working as a nanny and a lead CNA. My nursing education has taught me how to stay calm, pay close attention to safety, and respond responsibly when unexpected situations arise. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and making sure they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I’m responsible, organized, and able to follow each family’s routines and instructions closely. I’m comfortable helping with playtime, meals, naps, homework, and bedtime routines. I also speak both English and Spanish. Most importantly, parents can trust that I will treat their children with kindness, patience, and care.
I worked at a daycare for about 6 months, and those were some of the best months of my life! I am able to work under stress well, and follow directions. I am the oldest of 6 siblings! Being able to provide a safe space for your children is my highest priority! I am most comfortable with infants and babies. I'm patient and kind, and open communication is very important to me!
I am a responsible and caring college student with several years of hands-on experience caring for children and pets. I am a pet owner myself, of my little nanobanano so I understand the importance of caring for animals. For the past six years, I have taken care of two neighbor children, starting when they were 6 and 11 years old. Over this time, I supported them with daily supervision, homework help and tutoring. This experience has taught me responsibility and how to adapt to different personalities and needs as children grow. I am patient and organized, with strong communication skills and a calm approach in challenging situations. I am comfortable helping with light household tasks, routines, and educational support. I genuinely enjoy caring for others and take pride in being always in a positive and enthusiastic mode. As a college student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility to my caregiving work :)
