A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Jade. I’m 28 and originally from Colorado, now living in Oregon for 4 years! I’m passionate about the outdoors, animals, being silly, making friends, and of course working with kiddos. I’ve been working in childcare on and off for almost 10 years. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher as well as a nanny. I’ve taught and worked with children from 6 weeks all the way up to 5th grade! I was a lead twos teacher for 2 years in a Montessori/play based style preschool helping develop and guide curriculum, teach social and emotional skills, and foster relationships through play and communication. I also acted as a float and assistant teacher throughout schools in Colorado and Oregon. Throughout my time working in childcare I have taken several early educational courses to further my knowledge on working with kids. I am also CPR and first aid certified and have my food handler’s license.

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!

A little bit about me

Thanks for reading my intro. I'm a former preschool teacher, with years upon years of experience. I was a nanny to a 4 & 6 year-old(sisters), best and funnest time of my life! I'm a patient, positive, dedicated, nurturing and trustworthy individual. I have a strong work ethic & my moral compass- professionally & personally, are both important & valuable assets for the childcare profession. I am a seasoned freelance ghost writer for children's literature etc.My hobbies & passions consist of everything related to nature, adventures, sports, art, & fashion. And more! I love the sound of laughter, the beach, picnics, shooting hoop, bakeries(!), thoughtfulness, kindness, & learning. I am an animal aficionado! Young children are the universes next generation of doers. I'd enjoy being a positive role-model to one or more of those heroes or sheros! I think my best quality related to childcare is my innate ability to be flexible, understanding & non judgmental. Hope to hear from you soon! 🙏
