A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Jillian,
I have experience working with children of all ages. In addition to providing a safe, nurturing environment, I love planning fun, engaging activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence.

My background includes working in childcare and education, where I’ve supported children’s STEM development through play, structured learning, and homework help. I’m also a software engineer by profession, which has strengthened my problem-solving skills, organization, and reliability.

Whether your family needs occasional date-night coverage, after-school care, or regular nanny support, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care while helping your children feel happy, supported, and engaged. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I strive to treat every child with the same kindness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own.

I look forward to getting to know your family!

Live-In Nanny Seeking Family Placement

Hello! I'm a dependable and nurturing individual looking for a live-in nanny position with a caring family. I bring a calm and supportive presence to the home and am passionate about providing a safe, engaging, and loving environment for children to grow and thrive.

I'm happy to assist with a wide range of needs, including light housekeeping, meal preparation, organizing fun and educational activities, bedtime routines, and more. I'm also comfortable caring for children who are ill or have special needs, and I'm committed to offering patient, attentive care in any circumstance.

While I am not currently CPR and First Aid certified, I am absolutely willing to obtain certification prior to starting a position.

I’m looking for a long-term arrangement where I can become a valued part of the family. I look forward to the opportunity to support your household and care for your little ones as if they were my own. I do have my own child. He is 4.
