Booked by 1 family in El Cajon, CA

My name is Jillian. I am offering child care and even pet care. I am 26 years old and have a passion for being around kids. I have siblings that I helped raise since I was 12 and have so much patience with children. I am also CPR certified. I am energetic, kind, optimistic, and easy going. I am also well trusted and know that looking after a child is a very important role. I have experience with looking after toddlers to pre teens. I am currently working as a Registered Behavior Technician, but have been a preschool teacher for about 3 years. I also have credits in Child Development. I’m working on going back to school to continue working with kids. With that being said, I have experience and great knowledge to look after children!

“Jillian was great, she was on time and our son loved her. We will definitely hire her again ”

Madeline $20 per hour for 1 child

I am an outgoing college student and already have over five years of experience with caregiving for children of all ages! I have held two longterm caregiving jobs. The first was a combination of nannying three children (ages 2,7, and 12) and doing housework (laundry,dishes,orginization) a few times a week. The second was nannying for two children (ages 9 and 13) overnight into the next morning (packing lunch, cooking meals, driving kids to school) up to five times per week. Aside from that I have had various babysitting, housesitting, and pet sitting jobs as needed. I pride myself in creating a comfortable, safe, and positive environment for every family. I love to play games, do crafts, and talk to kids about whatever is on their mind. I love to have fun but I also know how to enforce rules and keep order in a household. I am willing and able to supervise swimming, run errands, do light housekeeping, and aid kids in their schoolwork if needed. I hope to make a positive impact in your family’s life!
