Jillian $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I have over 13 years experience in caregiving both with the elderly and children. I had been a nanny for multiple families. I have 3 nieces ranging in ages from 10 to 21 and continue to be an integral part of their upbringing. The last family I nannied for I was with for over 5 years. We are still very much in contact & I see them at least once a month for family dinner. I pride myself on my communication skills & I am great with children of all ages. I am a proud pet owner of a 16 year old dog, we’ve been together for 12 years and she is still very healthy and very happy!
