Hello, I'm a kind, reliable caregiver. I have been a full-time nanny for 8 years. I have several reviews on Care. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Jillian
I have cared for children with SPD and cerebral palsy along with feeding tubes, etc. I believe all children should be involved in every activity possible no matter their disabilities. It takes patience and love to care for our little ones. Please feel free to message me if you'd like a sitter for your loved one.
