My kids were in Natalies care for two years and it gave me so much peace of mind from the moment I stepped in her home that they would be very well taken care of. My son being 2.5 and my 4 month old daughter started in her care the summer of COVID. For two years she loved on my kids and taught them so much that is irreplaceable. We only stopped attending due to our move further north. I'm forever grateful that at very young ages that had the nurture of an experienced and family oriented individual. Highly recommend read more

If I could rate this place any more stars, it would go into the infinites. Me and my sister have been going to Miss Natalie's since we were little. Now we're in our late teens and still hold the same values and manners she has taught us. She is one of the sweetest humans ever. Literal angel. She shows so much love for what she does and for the children. She values every single person who comes in. I worked with her for a little bit helping out since she had some complications with an injury but was always on her feet anyways and I could really see how much she cared about what she does. She also had me and my Girl Scout troop come in multiple times for child care badges and taught us everything needed. I now have a job in childcare because of my experience with her and want to become a teacher to make an impact on children like she has done to my life. I recommend this place, not only because me and my family love her but because she is genuinely such a lovely human and her services and business shows it. We love you Natalie. read more

Jenna's House will always have a special place in my heart. After having my son, I had to quickly find daycare as I needed to be back to work. After searching then finally leaning on my friends for recommendations, I was referred to Natalie (Nanny)... as soon a we met, it was instant; I had a comforted "loving family" feeling with her and her home. Noah was only 6wks old then... and at 4, it was time for the next chapter - school. Nanny has been our second home. She loves our son like her own and that means the world to us. What I loved most was seeing her every morning and Noah running to greet her. Nanny is great with communication - constant text updates with reminders, photos/videos, and calls as soon as there's a concern. Her daycare is structured, organic food served, clean, bright and they bring home the most darling little keepsake gifts. Thank you for your tireless dedication and unconditional love to all the babies that have been under your care. You mean the absolute world to us. You, your family and your team have done so much to help Mr. Noah Bear grow. We will be forever grateful. read more

My son started with Jenna's House at 3 months old and will be moving on to kindergarten in the fall, and we couldn't recommend Natalie and her team more. From the start, I have always felt like I was dropping him off with family each day. He was loved and held and clean and fed and happy and still is! We have a true parenting partner in Natalie and her team. Natalie is an open communicator and is approachable when we have needs to address. She provides a healthy environment for my son, in the organic homemade food she feeds him, the exercise he gets, and the loving rules she has obviously honed with many, many years of experience. She provides a kid friendly place and keeps it fun and fresh with new toys and new setups and holiday décor. Natalie and team maintain a structured and balanced day with crafts and lessons and sensory play and music and naps. She has a preschool curriculum for the kids as well. We been so blessed to have a place at Natalie's for all the time we needed, just wish it hadn't flown so fast. read more

Update.. Note to Yelpers on Jenna's House reviews. My recent positive review disappeared from the page. Make sure to notify these removals to Yelps technical support team. As long as we write appropriate reviews within the terms and conditions we all agreed to prior to signing up, then our reviews need to remain visible. Currently there is a auto filter software scanning reviews for possible spam and or fake reviews. The software flagged mine inappropriately. Here is the original post and should be counted towards Natalie's rating :O) My husband and I highly recommend Jenna's House for daycare. Natalie is the owner / operator with a large home license. We found Natalie via Craigslist, and toured her home in February of 2013. After touring many facilities both home and center licensed, Natalie was the first establishment we instantly fell in love with. We searched for a loving place for our 1 1/2 year old daughter and Jenna's House provides christian based family values, tender loving care by Natalie, and healthy menus each day. Christian values are important to Natalie and her staff. One can relate immediately to her passion for teaching the children in a positive environment; thereby, creating a solid foundation for our child's well being. Fun activities are planned throughout the days, but we appreciated Natalie's organization skills while training our daughter the fundamentals of listening and behaving within a large group of kids. For example, Natalie has taught our daughter to sit in her assigned spot at circle time. Before coming to Jenna's House..our daughter did not have this skill. Another example is that after only 3 weeks, Ava (our 15 month old at the time), started signing simple commands. We were amazed! Ava is now 21 months old and is thriving in her care. Sincere love and care is modeled by Natalie and her staff. This trait was above all the most important to us. Meet Natalie, bring your child, and you can see how natural her instincts are with children. My daughter went into Natalie's arms immediately after meeting her in person. She is genuine and true to her kids and exhibits her love each day for all of her children. Did I mention that Nanny teaches the kids to be gentle by having animals? YES! We LOVE that Thumper the rabbit roams freely in the yard, and the kids get to feed and tend to her. I greatly appreciate that our daughter enjoys going to school everyday, and I can feel secure in knowing she is in a loving place. Organic menus and fresh Juicing is practiced by Jenna's House. These components of daycare were a huge bonus for solidifying our decision to enroll Ava. In the last six months, our daughter started picking up bowls and spoons at home and pretending that she was baking / cooking dinner with me. Natalie teaches the kids to cook by scheduling one day a week where a cooking project is included. Recently, Ava learned how to stir the ingredients to apple cake. And then, samples were sent home so Ava could share her accomplishments from the day. She was so proud of herself. And Natalie messaged me pictures!!! Ava loves the food that Nanny (Natalie) makes from scratch, but her favorite is the Chicken Noodle Soup! We searched for a loving place for our 1 1/2 year old (now 21 months) daughter and Jenna's House provides christian based family values, tender loving care by Natalie, and healthy menus each day. We highly recommend Natalie's services and encourage anyone seeking a wholesome, well-rounded, and honest daycare to tour Jenna's House. Feel free to contact me for any further questions, and I look forward to reading additional 5-star reviews for Nanny! She deserves it!! read more

I have been taking my daughter to Natalie (Nanny) since 2015 and she has been such a huge blessing to us ever since! At first my daughter was there for full time care and then when she started school she obviously didn't need full time but no matter what, Natalie has ALWAYS made herself available to us. She really enjoys the kids and I love that her helpers do too! They are all more like family to us now :) The kids have a great time and, like at school, build structure and friendships... I couldn't pick a better "family" to help take care of my daughter. read more

We have been sending our daughter to Natalie for about 9 months now and have nothing but awesome things to say about her and the way she runs the daycare. Natalie is very loving, warm and every weekday our daughter comes home with stories about how much she enjoyed her time with Natalie and the other children that attend. Our daughter is 3 years old and learning new things everyday and a large portion of that is due to the lessons that she learns at daycare. She is learning bible stories, new songs, activities, how to be polite and interact with other, how to become her own well rounded person and most importantly the beginning steps to good Christian values. We are very glad that we chose Natalie, she is amazing with the children and has an endless supply of life lessons and activities. We recommend Natalie to all of our family and friends as we want them and their children to have the same great experiences. read more

I would absolutely recommend Jenna's house daycare to anyone looking for a family-oriented daycare that not only provides care to the children but also offers them a loving environment to thrive in. I sent my youngest daughter here from age 1 until she started T-K. Natalie or "Nanny" as the kids call her met my number 1 requirement - she showed my daughter love everyday as if she were one of her own children. Natalie believes that communication is key, which I also really appreciated. Her home is always clean and the kids eat healthy organic meals daily. I have always been very impressed with the values and manners that Natalie and instills in the children. Jenna's house daycare will always hold a special place in my daughter's heart! read more

We absolutely love Natalie and the care our daughter receives at Jenna's House! She teaches Christian values and curriculum, fixes the children organic meals, and has the patience of a Saint. Our daughter enjoys the cooking projects, crafts, outdoor play, and feeding the pet rabbit. Natalie has been so helpful and knowledgeable. We are so thankful that we have found her! read more

Our family relocated from San Jose to Roseville. We interviewed several different child care providers and ended up selecting Jenna's House. Natalie was such a big blessing in our life, taking care of our twin daughters who were just 3 years old at the time. She has such a caring heart and you can truly see her deep love for children and the excellent care she gives as well as her staff. She provides a great structure environment and fun projects for the kids to do as well as outdoor play time. The organic meals for the kids she prepares are delicious! We highly recommend her if you're looking for a loving, caring and kind in-home daycare center in the Rocklin area. read more

We miss Jenna's house. Our family just relocated to Colorado, and we had to do it all in about a month. It was absolutely hard to leave Natalie, Sydney and Rene and all the kids that my daughter made friends with! It was always a joy to pick up my 2 year old and see her happy and well fed. She was slightly underweight when we first brought her to Jenna's house, and her pediatrician was concerned so he referred us to a gastroenterologist who wanted to do a bunch of blood tests...Long story short, we got to drop all of that awful investigating into what could be wrong with my little bean because Natalie and the girls fattened her up! They gave her a special chair at the counter and encouraged her to eat everything they gave her (very healthy food, I might add)...she was back on the growth chart in no time (less than 30 days I think?) and since there didn't seem to be anything else going on, the doctors were no longer concerned! Praise God :) Everything about our experience at Jenna's house was a huge blessing. I could be comfortable at work knowing how well taken care of my daughter was. The in-home atmosphere and Christian values really benefited my daughter in the short time we had her there. I know she was super loved-on, and had so much fun every day. Finding daycare out here in Colorado has been a huge challenge because the bar is set so high! Love you, ladies at Jenna's house! read more

My son Owen went to Jenna's house for about 6 months. He was 2 1/2 to 3 years during his time there. He has gone to a traditional daycare and it did not work, he never wanted to go, and it was just terrible. Then I found Jenna's house. My son is a pretty particular kid. He is very sensitive and sweet, he is also behind in speech and cognitive abilities. Natalie was so good to my son. She really does make her house a home-away-from-home for her kids. Owen actually wanted to go! It made me so relieved to find such a good place. She truly cares about all her kids, and treats them with respect and lots of love! She cuddled, held, and played with the kids. Owen loves to cuddle, so I was happy that he got so much love from not only Natalie, but her workers and family too. I am so sad that we moved away, finding a good daycare is extremely stressful and worrisome. I highly recommend Jenna's house-christian centered daycare!! read more

Natalie (Owner/Primary Caregiver) seems to be nice, however she used poor judgment on several occasions during the 2 short weeks that my daughter was there and I feel compelled to share my experience with others considering this daycare because her previous excellent Yelp reviews are one of the biggest reasons I chose her to begin with. I will start with her most significant mistake that resulted in my immediate decision that my daughter would not be returning. Natalie asked permission for the children to go with her assistants down to the park for about an hour because Natalie had an appointment which required the children to be out of the home. I hesitated a moment because of the path to the park, but Natalie reassured me and told me that she would send me a text as soon as they returned from the park which should have been around 10am. Come 10:45 am I had not received a text from Natalie, so I sent her one asking if the kids got back from the park yet. While I was waiting for her reply, I decided I would take a break from work and just drive by the park down the street from my work place. I arrived to the park and could see my daughter sitting there with the other kids and the assistants. As I was beginning to drive away from the park to go back to work, I received a text from Natalie. Her response to my question if the kids had returned from the park was "Yes, Sorry. They had a great time. The weather was perfect!" This was mere seconds after I saw my daughter at the park. Unfortunately, Natalie was willing to lie to me on the whereabouts of my child in order to not make me worry. I gave her two other chances to be truthful by casually asking her how long they were at the park and about when did they get back. She lied two more times. That night I looked at the coloring page that was sent home with my daughter and it was all about the 9th commandment - "Do not tell lies". That was my daughters last day in Natalie's care. When I notified Natalie that my daughter would not be returning, she asked me if she had done something wrong. I explained to her and I was somewhat relieved that she did not deny the lie, was embarrassed, and apologized. I was comforted a little by the fact that she admitted to her wrongdoing, but ultimately, the lie should have never even happened. It was already bad enough that the whole reason the kids had to be out of the house was because she had an appointment with the Department of Social Services who had not yet inspected the new home which she had moved to and had been operating for 2 weeks without approval. Natalie neglected to tell me (and probably other parents) that the state was delayed in inspecting her home until the day before her rescheduled appointment. Other things that were concerning were: - She gave saline nose drops to all the kids, including mine, without asking my permission. I wouldn't be surprised if she had used the same exact bottle on each child and just wiped the tip. She also used vapo-rub on my child without asking my permission. - Before I selected Jenna's House, one of the questions I asked Natalie was if there was anyone else that lived in or often came to the home during operation hours. She said sometimes her grown children stop by, so I assumed she was not married and possibly divorced or widowed. Then one day I was dropping my daughter off and a man answered the door, let me in and it was apparent that he was watching the kids for the moment. I asked him if Natalie was here and he said that she would be down shortly and introduced himself as her husband. I don't know why she did not tell me about her husband. I'm sure he is a nice man and there was no harm to him being there with the kids, but It certainly made me wonder why she would have omitted that info especially since it wasn't just a one-time occasion - I saw him several other times in the presence of the kids during daycare hours. - About 70% of the time when I arrived to drop off or pick up my kid, Natalie was not with the children, but was upstairs out of daycare boundaries, making me wonder just how much of the time was the 18 year old assistant watching my kid rather than the woman I hired to do it. About 85% of the time Natalie was in what appeared to be her PJ's and looked as though she had not yet gotten ready for the day. I didn't have a huge problem with either of these things, but it did come off as lazy and made me skeptical of how well prepared she was for the day and how involved she was with the kids. - One time when I went to pick up my kid, most the kids and one assistant were in the backyard playing, Natalie was on one side of the home giving a tour, and I was at the door for several minutes with two unattended children - a baby who was left in a highchair and a ~14 month old wandering around by the open front door. No one was watching them. -Finally, without my permission, Natalie posted photos of my child playing at daycare on her business Facebook page. read more

My twins have been with Natalie at Jenna's House since they were 4 months old. As a new mother I was very nervous about daycare and who to charge with the care of my most precious gifts. We could not feel more blessed to have found Natalie. She is an excellent communicator and has made the first two years incredible learning experiences for my children. Before the age of three they are counting, doing their ABCs and were signing to me as infants before I knew to even look for it! She loves these kids and takes on a lot to give them a full experience. The daycare has an amazing mascot in Kai the dog and also allows children to be supervised with swim lessons. Natalie and her staff have become family. Some of the girls who have gone onto college are still in our network for weekend babysitters. As new scared parents, she truly lightened our load and changed our lives. My children hug and kiss her and tell her they love her when we leave everyday. I don't prompt them to do this...they do it because she has given them a loving structured environment and they feel safe!! She's a gift, and having your children there is a rewarding experience. read more
