A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Lillian.

I have worked in and volunteered in childcare for over a decade. I have run in-home group care, taught in daycare classes ages 0-6, and worked as a contract nanny.

I prioritize responsiveness, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care.
I believe caregivers hold a particular responsibility for supporting parent/guardians’ goals for their children.

I have an Associates of Arts in Education. I am graduating with BS in Secondary Education with an enhanced teaching certificate in English in 2025 from Tarleton State University..

I have been volunteering with FWISD, through the Academy 4, and Leaders 5 programs for five years.
I rescue and foster with Apollo Rescue, so I am comfortable with pets.
I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified for adults and children through the American Red Cross.

I believe the basis of the carer/guardian relationship is trust through honesty and respectful communication.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

As a teacher, reading, outdoor exploration, writing, coloring, and other cognitive, creative, and intellectual building activities have a special place in my heart.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Supporting parents!

The role of caregiving is a nuanced and complex one. Each child prefers their parents/guardians and each parent would like to be able to meet their child’s every need, every moment.

However, parents/guardians have needs too, and we adults must work in order to eat. This is where caregivers come in. We fill a nuanced and precious space alongside parents/guardians and their children.

It is my priority to make parents feel the sting of being away from their child that much less by making them feel trusted, seen, respected, partnered with, and supported.

A child is not the only need you are helping to meet as a caregiver. We must be supporters of the parents/guardians in order to fulfill our purpose ethically and effectively.

The most important part about being a nanny...

All my students and my charges have a special place in my heart!

I do remember the satisfaction of getting a particularly stubborn, developmentally behind charge to sit-up, roll over, and quad-crawl after being behind and reluctant toward all skills for months. I got his first time crawling on video and honestly, I cried. Incredibly proud of him! It was a long push of PT/OT support to get him to that point.

Besides that, times where charges spoke for the first time, remembered me when I came back for a short care visit, and remembered a favorite song I sang after they moved on from my class or care are partiality precious to me.

My ultimate care guilty pleasure are contact naps or naps while baby wearing. There is nothing more humbling and honoring than a little life feeling safe enough to drift off in your arms, particularly when you are only filling in for mom, dad, grandma, etc.!
