About Jillian

I have been caring for children of all ages for 14 years. From 10 weeks old, to 15 years old, I enjoy working with kids of all ages - while the past few years I have primarily cared for 0-2-year-olds! I am a Cincinnati native who now lives just across the river in NKY. I attended Montessori schooling for all of K-12 through Cincinnati Public Schools. BA from Otterbein University. I served as a Girl Scout starting in kindergarten & carrying all the way through many summer camps into my senior year when I earned my Gold Award. I was also a lifeguard with CRC, a long time volunteer at the Cincinnati Zoo, teen volunteer supervisor at the Cincy & Denver Zoos, and a nanny/babysitter. My Montessori education has led me to find high value in outdoor time & interactive play. I am not one for using screens with children often, and am much more interested in activities that get the imagination flowing! I recognize that as a parent, your desires for you children come before anything else!
