About Jennifer
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I am a 29 y/o high school history teacher looking to save up money for my wedding. I started working with children when I was 16 years old, teaching swim lessons to kids aged 6 months - 7 for 7 years. After college, I worked as a behavior therapist with autistic children for 4 years with kids ages 2-16 at 2 different clinics. In 2020 I decided to go back to school for my master's in education and I now teach high school history and psychology. I have had several dogs throughout my lifetime and I currently have a 1. 5-year-old cat, Jinxy l, and a 10-month-old kitten, Moose. I will be starting summer break in about a week and am looking for a family to work with over the summer!

Jennifer sang and assumed leadership roles in a children's chorus starting when she was in 4th grade. I'm the chorus' Managing Director. It would be difficult to exaggerate her contribution to our program, both as a vocalist and student director. She's responsible, compassionate, hard working, not afraid to demonstrate initiative, and in all ways setted a perfect example for other singers. I completely recommend her to your organization.
