Jennifer Godek Jennifer gained lots of hands on experience with newborn- toddlers while working at an infant center in downtown Ann Arbor. Next came preschoolers, and that was lots of fun! She taught fitness and helped the children with year long Reggio projects. Working at this preschool opened the door to new families and babysitting for Jennifer. Moving to elementary aged children at a Montessori school provided the opportunity to try new activities and fall in love with older kids. While living abroad in London, Jennifer was a live-in nanny for four wonderful children ages two through six. She had a new appreciation for parents (and all of the hard work they do) after this job was finished! After moving back to Ann Arbor, Jennifer has been a nanny to several families in the area. She is presently a full time nanny for a sweet baby girl.

Lily smiled and said, "That's not my Mommy, that's MY Kimmie!"
