About Justine Jones
More Than Just A Nanny — A Career Governess Nanny, Parenting Coach, Trainer, and Organizer dedicated to providing exceptional childcare for over 30 years.
My Story
I have been providing childcare, in various ways and to various degrees, for over 30 years, including non-nanny positions.
Starting out as a peer mentor in elementary school and continuing through college, I gained a great deal of insight into a diverse population of varying ages. I still continue being involved in mentor programs with school-aged children and young adults. I have branched into developing community programs as well, all of which is incredibly rewarding.
At 10 years old I began as a babysitter, became a camp counselor in my teens, and eventually worked as a religious school teacher in my early 20s. Later, I moved into helping overwhelmed families in my spare time, assisting parents with daily childcare. My passion for children fueled my independent studies in everything child-related, and I eventually moved into nannying as my full-time career without looking back!
I love my career with children, and I look forward to the many more adventures I have yet to experience with it!
What I Offer
One person, instead of dealing with over 50 individuals. I provide over 50 positions and services on a regular basis, mostly simultaneously, knowing how and when to switch between them as needed.
Instead of hiring and dealing with over 50 individual people—each of whom would need to be background checked, trained, introduced into your lifestyle, acclimated to the way your home operates, and entrusted with your family, your home, your children, your life, your possessions, and your privacy—you will simply have me at your convenience upon immediate request and need for each service required.
