My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Jenni, I'm 31 years old and I live in Tonbridge. I live with my husband, two daughters aged 4 and 7 months old and our housecat, Harry.
I have a Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and hold an up to date DBS check. I am also fully paediatric first aid trained which includes EPI pen training, I make sure that these are always kept up to date. I have also completed further training including safeguarding training, recognising and supporting children with special educational needs, nutrition in the Early Years and Health and Safety in Early Years. I own my own car with a full clean driving license which is insured for business use. I am an Ofsted registered Childminder through an agency opening from March 2025. Please get in contact to arrange a welcome call and a home visit.
I love cooking and baking, which I encourage children to be involved in as it's such a valuable skill (plus a huge benefit to learning and development). I love being outside and visiting local parks, National Trust places and for days out to farms and zoos.
My Experience
I have 3 years experience working in nurseries working with children aged from 3 months - 4 years. I became a Room Leader and then promoted to Third in Charge at my previous nursery. I have had experience running and maintaining a nursery with at least 70 children. I have volunteered in a primary school which has given me experience working with children aged 4 years to 10 years old.
After a few years of experience in nurseries I decided to become a private nanny which I absolutely loved and spent 10 years within this role. However, I am now onto my new adventure of Childminding and opening my setting in March 2025.
Please get in contact for more details, I look forward to hearing from you!

Jennifer worked for us for 6 months, nannying our twins aged 10. In this time we found her to be punctual, reliable and caring. Jennifer will go 'above and beyond'. I would highly recommend her.

Jenni has babysat for Evie, 4, a handful of times and has been always been reliable and trustworthy. She is considerate, kind and caring with Evie. Would have no hesitation recommending Jenni to others!

We have had Jennifer babysit our two boys ages 3 and 6 years on a couple of occasions. On arrival Jennifer immediately focuses her attention on the children getting involved in their activities and games. This has been especially important as our oldest was very nervous about being left with a babysitter. We are very happy with Jennifer's professional yet caring approach and will continue to have her babysit when required.
