I've opened up 529 Plans for their children and seen them grow up to use these accounts. So in my years of helping families I still benefited helping children.

I have been in the field of Child Care and Early Childhood Education for over 15 years. After graduating from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor's Degree in Child Development, I began my career as an Early Childhood Educator. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years. Working with children brings me so much joy. I’m passionate about early childhood education and truly believe the early years are the most important for sparking a lifelong love of learning, creativity, exploration, and play. I am also a proud mom of two wonderful children, ages 6 and 3. I’m currently seeking a position with a family who would welcome my 3-year-old to accompany me on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. She is a playful, kind, and sociable little girl who loves being around other children. With my professional experience as an educator and my personal experience as a mother, I offer a nurturing, dependable, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I strive to ensure your child always feels safe, respected, and loved while supporting their growth and development every step of the way. If you feel I could be a good fit for your family, I would love the opportunity to speak with you further.

My name is Jill Patel and I would love to be your next helper! I am a rising junior at the university of pittsburgh where I am majoring in neuroscience and child development. A little bit about me is that I love all kinds of animals, I can speak 4 languages fluently (English, Gujarati, Hindi, French), and I love the outdoors. I has lots of experience with kids since I was a nanny for a 2 year old and an 8 month old, and I have been a tennis coach for 4 years. I adore kids of all ages and love to connect with each of them. They bring a fresh perspective to everything and can brighten up any sad day. Working as a tennis coach with children as young as 3 and adults as old as 60, I have picked up a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to working and engaging with children. I believe that my job has really given me an insight on what goes on their little minds and how I can form a relationship with them. So I’ve encountered any and all situations with kids from ad young as infants and up to high schoolers. I like to approach with a more hands-on approach regarding activities, with limited screen time. I always have lots of games, stories, educative learning, and imagery play ready to go!

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family.

I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️
