A little bit about me

My name is Gillian, and I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in May 2025. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have always loved working with children. One of my favorite things about kids is their creativity and imagination, and I enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun.

I am very active and have played sports throughout my life, so I love spending time outdoors, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and active. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents.
