More Than Just A Nanny
Justine Jones
As a career Governess Nanny, your children are my main focus and drive. I am a highly educated private in-home Governess Nanny, Parenting Coach, Trainer, and Organizer committed to delivering personalized, nurturing, and educational childcare, supporting the unique needs of individual children and families. I am experienced with newborns, young children, twins, and various family dynamics, focusing on care, education, nutrition, health, and development. With my flexible schedule, I provide guidance and assistance while increasing parents' free time, optimizing family time, and creating an overall harmonious home life.
About Me
My Journey
I've 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've 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 20's.
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
Services & Expertise
One Person, Over 50 Services
1 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/secrets, you will simply have me at your convenience upon immediate request and need for each service required.
