Hi there! I am a mother and have several years of experience with childcare and parent support services. I also provide pet care and housework as needed.
My name is Jillian, I am a 17 year old high school senior. I currently work as a librarians assistant at an elementary school, and I am about to become a TA! I absolutely love working with kids, and I am an aspiring educator. I don’t have many certifications, but I can provide genuine care and support for your children. I have experience with family and close friends baby-sitting, but it has been difficult for me to find a way to branch out. If you are interested, please contact me. If not, no issue at all, but please refer me to anyone who might be looking for what I’m providing! Thanks for reading!

My name is Pamela (Pam) 17 year old .
I have taken solo care of my 2 year old nephew at sixteen during a family vacation on another country and feel really comfortable with taking care of energetic kids.
I'm very understanding of families situations so feel free to contact me for emergencies and I'll do my best to get to your kid or pet.
I do hope you remember I'm still a student and have to attend school from 8:30 to 3:30 and I have no choice but to oblige.
I would welcome any kind of concern you have and tips you might want to give me.
Have a nice time.
Responsible Student Eager to Learn and Gain Work Experience
I love working with children. I am currently in a club called Key Club, which focuses on community service and provides many opportunities to work with children and people in general. I volunteered to watch a large group of children in kindergarten through fifth grade during a school event.
I also come from a big family and often spend time with my younger cousins, playing with them and keeping them entertained. My aunts and uncles have shared that the kids get very excited to see me because I always make time to play with them.
In addition, I enjoy cooking meals in my free time and sometimes prepare meals for my family. I also help my mom clean houses, so I have experience keeping a home clean and organized and am always willing to help with chores when needed.
Overall, I am responsible, patient, and dependable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for children in a safe and positive environment.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Willow Grove for work.

In the spring of 2025, I took a American Red Cross Babysitting course. During this course I got introduced to basic first aid and CPR. I also learned how to feed infants, change diapers, and what to do in emergencies. If needed, I can provide the ARC ( American Red Cross) certification. I personally don’t have any pets but almost everyone of my friends, family members has one so, I’m very comfortable with pets.
