About Jillian

Welcome! Did you know children under the age of 5 form approximately 1000 new neuronal connections every second? Regardless of socioeconomic status or access to resources, children exposed to rich lingual environments score higher on IQ tests beginning at age 3. I have a broad lexicon and a big heart! My credentials: I attended Ohio State University and earned a B. S. in Human Development with a specialization in Early Childhood development. I have 8+ years of care experience with children 0-17 and I am a credentialed teacher. I am an endlessly curious spirit and I adore children. My caretaking style: Every child is unique and I alter my practices to suit individual needs/interests. In short, I pay full attention and meet all children with love. My methodology can be best summarized by the text referenced above; originally published in French, "The Natural Laws of Children," by Céline Alvarez. I would love to share more if you decide we may be a fit!
