Jennifer


This is Jennifer.
Isn't she darling?
She is 17 years old, super sweet, and her English gets better with our comfort level. There are times when we don't understand each other but then we just keep describing what we need in different ways until we get it.

She eats breakfast and lunch at our house. She makes her own food and eats it sitting on the kitchen floor. This house comes with a servant's quarters (more like a double sized closet with an outside entry on the side of the house) and a servant's bathroom (for the maid and driver to use). Right now the quarters are full of tile that is being placed on the side of the house but once it's empty I will put a comfortable chair, table and colorful carpet in there so Jennifer can take her breaks comfortably and in her own space (away from her job).

She might spend the night on occasions when we want her to babysit. She said she likes the idea but I think my kids will steamroll right over her. She's much too nice. But maybe she can kick down when she needs to. She has worked as a housekeeper/nanny before - but the A&A are a special case. :-) (I wouldn't babysit them. Hahahahaha)
