Jennifer Pittman - 4-Year-Old Teacher Assistant
I grew up in Cary and am currently living in Creedmoor on Falls Lake with my husband Ron, our dog, Zoey, and our cat, Levi. My background in child care began many years ago at Bright Horizons after I graduated from Wake Technical Community College with an Early Childhood Education degree in 1992. I have worked in multiple industries since then, but my heart has always remained with children. In my free time, I enjoy visiting our beach house in Cedar Point, NC, taking Zoey on our boat, and spending time with friends and family. My husband is a life-long member of Western Blvd, and I have been a member since 1997.
