Ginger Mylander Swift

Owner
Years in the Industry: 35+ years

ABC Nannies would not exist without our enthusiastic, adventurous, forward thinking founder, Ginger Swift. In 1994, after working through college as a nanny (BS in Psychology) and a successful stint in sales, Ginger turned her talents to helping nannies find caring, professional positions with Colorado families.

Over the years ABC has grown from a one-woman business to the largest nanny and household staffing agency in Colorado. While growing the business, Ginger relied on the support of several experienced ABC nannies to care for her adorable kiddos. She currently spearheads ABC’s Newborn Care Division; supporting parents and hand-picking the ideal person to care for their baby is her passion!

In her spare time, when not with her family, she gives back to the industry as an active member of the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies and the International Nanny Association.

Jami Dennis

Owner
Years in the Industry: 25+ years

Dynamic and passionate about helping others, innovative and adept at fostering relationships, honest and someone who truly understands both sides of this business: Jami was a nanny for several years after college (BA and MA from CU…go Buffs!) and successfully employed three nannies/family assistants to care for her own children.

Since joining ABC in early 2004, ABC has continued to grow and thrive under her direction. Together, with Ginger, they launched ABC’s temporary service: Jovie of Denver+ in 2017. Jami leads her businesses with the core values instilled in her by Midwest upbringing in eastern Colorado: integrity, hard work, and kindness.

Jami enjoys spending time with her family and mini Golden-doodle. She’s also dedicated to supporting other entrepreneurs; she’s served on the Board of Directors for the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies since 2009 – and is currently the President of the organization, and is an active member of EO Colorado.

Brittany Johnson

Placement Director
Years in the Industry: 15+ years

With over 15+ years of customer service, recruiting and networking experience under her belt, Brittany leads our team with a positivity, a can-do attitude and the willingness to go the extra mile for her clients and candidates.

A graduate of CSU – where she received her BA in Communication Studies – Brittany began her professional career working as a technical recruiter. While recruiting was a great match for her, in 2014 she chose to put her skills to work supporting Colorado families, nannies and household staff as a leader at ABC…and she’s never looked back. In 2018, Brittany was awarded one of the industry’s top honors for her work at ABC: Colorado Staffing Association’s Staffing Employee of the Year! 

When not working, Brittany loves spending time with her husband, and her two tiny fur-babies (she’s a dedicated Yorkie mom), hiking and skiing, and spending time with her vast network of friends and family here in Colorado.

Jenny riojas

Placement Manager
Years in the Industry: 20+ years

We are delighted to welcome back Jenny – with her infectious enthusiasm and extensive experience – to the ABC Nannies’ team! Jenny brings over two decades of in-home experience to her role with ABC. A native of Arizona, she received her BA in Elementary Ed from the University of Arizona. 

Jenny began her staffing career with ABC Nannies in the early 2000’s as a Placement Counselor.  And after several years working in Colorado, she decided to move back home, to Arizona, where she expanded upon her experience becoming the lead Placement Counselor for Scottsdale-based A Caring Nanny (ACN). In 2015, she took a bold step and acquired ACN. For nearly a decade, Jenny lead ACN while raising her two adorable sons (and two cute pups!). And after a long, successful career as a solo-prenuer, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome Jenny back to the ABC team!

Her extensive background as a former full-time nanny/house manager, parent of two, and agency owner gives her unmatched insight into the needs of both families and candidates. But it’s her genuine warmth and tireless dedication to ensuring every placement she oversees leads to lasting, successful partnerships that makes Jenny a true stand-out. We know you’re going to love working with her as much as we do!
