Hello! My name is Jill, and I moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2001 for a teaching position at Aspen Elementary School. With over a decade of experience working with first graders and English language learners, I continue to tutor students in reading and writing. Watching children blossom at their own pace and grow in confidence is incredibly rewarding and deeply fulfilling.

Alongside my background in education, I have 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. Whether building train tracks, decorating cookies, playing games, or reading books, I love connecting with children by discovering their passions and creating a fun, enriching environment.

Nothing has brought me greater joy than raising my son, now a compassionate and curious college freshman. In my free time, I volunteer with children with cancer, organize community events, explore the beautiful mountains on foot and skis, cook healthy meals and bake cookies for family and friends, and unwind with puzzles and podcasts.

I truly cherish the relationships I build and look forward to creating a positive, nurturing experience for your family through babysitting!
