Biography
Jen is founder of “Not My Kid’ and is a Parent Cyber Safety Consultant, offering online training and private coaching to parents with a focus on empowering them to keep their kids safe online, with an emphasis on delaying exposure to screens and prevention of child exploitation online. Jen is based in Sydney, Australia, and is a mum of three children - two in their late teens, and one in early primary school. Jen’s passion in this space stems from personal experience following her daughter's contact with a predator via an online game. With her daughter's consent, Jen has published the story ‘A Regular Story that Rarely Gets Told’. In addition, she has navigated severe cyber bullying, a sexting incident, and the suicide of a friend with her older son. All this has allowed her to gain a real understanding of the challenges parents face once their children have access to an internet connected device. As well as this, Jen has been managing her husband's psychiatric practice for over a decade. She has noted in recent years an alarming increase in teens seeking help for mental health issues, some of which are directly related to gaming and social media use. Jen has a particular interest in the prevention of online child exploitation and has completed several certified online courses. She is currently completing a Bachelor Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Jen draws on her personal experience, work experience, and education to help parents empower themselves with knowledge and strategies in order to better protect their children online. Jen offers private consultation for parents tailored to their needs. For further information, please email: classes@babysparks.com.
