What Is it & How We All Work TOgether

Helping Families Confidently Navigate The Childcare Industry with Expert 1:1 Guidance & Resources

What exactly is it like to work with a Professional Childcare Consultant?

*What can I expect for my family?*

I am so glad you asked! I’m Jillian, a Professional Childcare Consultant. You can learn more about me and my background here.

Think of a Professional Childcare Consultant as your family cheerleader. I am here to help address the needs of your household, the type of help you’re looking for, work with you to develop an action plan, and support you through the hiring process.

It is my goal that I provide you with the tools, resources, and knowledge for you to navigate the childcare industry *confidently* to find that trusted childcare provider for your family.

I want parents & guardians to feel confident & supported through their childcare search through my childcare consulting services.

It is not a one & done process. 

It’s about knowing your family’s needs & finding the right help & support to work towards the common goal: the child’s wellbeing & development. 

Taking the search seriously fosters respect & trust between the family & caregiver.

Consulting Services

One consulting call can cover:

  • specific family unit dynamics & needs, parenting philosophies, education needs, etc
  • differences between the types of care (in detail)
  • budgeting & your area-specific market research/standards
  • coaching on how to write a compelling job listing
  • potential red & green flags to look for when going through childcare provider responses
  • background checks & resources
  • interview prep, trial periods, onboarding protocols
  • where to source payroll services – think TAXES
  • how to structure a legal employment agreement (and what to bring to a lawyer)
  • in case of emergency preparedness
  • expectations of care in regard to a child’s development, etc
  • effective communication & boundary setting – which helps with retention
  • and more!

While not all aspects of the hiring process can be addressed in one consulting call, it’s a great jumping-off point to get you moving toward your childcare goals.

An a-la-carte service of collaboration & support for you and your family unit!

The childcare industry doesn’t have to be difficult to navigate. There are resources out there for you to confidently make the choices in finding and/or hiring the best fit for your family unit.

Working with a Professional Childcare Consultant is one way to make sure all your specific questions are answered & you have the support to move forward.

I don’t believe that you have to promise a percentage of an annual salary $$$$ for a potential childcare provider in order for you to be confident in the quality of candidates you’re reviewing.

Childcare Consulting is a way to bridge the gap between doing it yourself and working with a placement agency. It’s for families that want to navigate the childcare industry on their own with expert guidance.

Get the advice & support you need for your *individual & unique* family unit. 

Let’s work as a team to confidently navigate the childcare industry to find an *amazing & unique* childcare provider for your *unique* family.

Reselling Children's Furniture/Gadgets

Strollers, high chairs, car seats, play furniture, books, etc.

Anything your household no longer needs, as your children age out, can be overwhelming to know what to do with them after.

Gifting and charity are always appreciative when available but most things donated often ends up in a landfill.

Reselling the products that you’ve loved to those looking to save their wallet and the planet is a win-win!

Don’t let it pile up in your garage when there is a clutter reducing solution😉
