Who we are

Jennifer has multiple certifications in Early Childhood Education. Prior to working in childcare, Jennifer spent over 15 years in sales, marketing and analysis in a variety of industries including proxy voting services, mechanical contracting, and retail management. Her background in customer service and love of children and education has resulted in the opening of The Learning Crib in 2007. Jennifer has lived in Twinbrook for twenty years and has been an active volunteer in the community. She served many years in the local PTA including president for Twinbrook School in 2015. She has also worked with school age children as a CCD teacher at St. Mary’s Church for five years. A homeschooling mom, her interests outside of work include history, philosophy, homemaking, cooking, entertaining, languages, fitness, and music. Her idea for a happy life is to be of service to others which has resulted in many happy beginnings for the children in her care. A person that is constantly looking to self-improve, Jennifer's future goal is to master the Latin language. She is happily married and has two teenagers. 

Evelyn, a native Honduran, has been working at the Learning Crib for 4 years. She has extensive experience caring for children both in Honduras as well as the US. She is a very loving and caring teacher and has chosen this profession out of her passion for working with young children. She thoroughly enjoys what she does and it shows in the close relationships she has developed with the children. Her terrific sense of humor and positive attitude add so much to the childcare environment. An ambitious and independent person, Evelyn is always seeking to learn and improve. She has mastered the English language and will now concentrate on more formal areas of early childhood education. In her free time, Evelyn likes spending time with her extended family and exploring the area. She loves living in the MVDC. 

Bridget is our childcare aid and creative coordinator. She grew up within a daycare family and has extensive experience with children of all ages. She is the “big kid” that all of the little kids love. She feels so fortunate to have had so many little brothers and sisters through the years. Her creative genius fuels the dramatic play that children enjoy so much. The senior staff have learned a lot from her insight through the years. She bridges the gap between the younger and older minds. She is currently a home-school junior and would like to study nursing after graduation.
