Jess Baldenhofer
Parent Coach & Educator, Mother of 1
Jess is a Brooklyn, NY–based parent coach and educator. She supports parents in feeling more confident, connected, and grounded in their parenting while helping families navigate childcare support, integrate caregivers into the home, and build collaborative, aligned relationships between parents and the professionals who support them.
Jess previously held a career in museum education for 20 years, teaching children ages 4–18 through art at institutions including the Guggenheim Museum and MoMA, and has spent over a decade consulting with museums and organizations across the country to design meaningful learning experiences.
She has over 20 years of experience working directly with children and families and began babysitting throughout high school, college, and graduate school before going on to work as a nanny for multiple families, including a family she cared for in both London and the Hamptons—she remains close with them today and recently attended one of the children’s 30th birthday celebrations!
Jess earned her degree in education from Bank Street College and brings a thoughtful, real-life approach to her work, helping families find what truly works for them.
