Gillie $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gillie, a recent nursing graduate from Dominican University of California with extensive hands-on caregiving experience and a passion for working with children and families. Throughout my education I completed over 1,000 hours of clinical training, including maternal-newborn and family-centered care, which strengthened my understanding of child development, safety, and compassionate caregiving. I’ve worked with families as a nanny, babysitter, and in-home caregiver, caring for children of different ages and helping with daily routines like meals, bedtime, homework, playtime, and school pick-ups. I love creating a fun, engaging, and structured environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and explore. Caregiving has always come naturally to me because I genuinely enjoy building relationships with families and being someone parents can trust with their children. I’m patient, attentive, and very safety-focused, while also making sure kids have a great time—whether that’s outdoor adventures, crafts, reading, or creative play. A little about me personally: I’m very active, positive, and responsible. I love being outdoors, cooking, and spending time with animals. Families often describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who brings calm and good energy into their home. I’m excited to connect with families looking for a reliable and caring nanny! 👶✨
