I am writing this in response to “Bobby.” First, I have never had a child or family named Bobby. Mom is showing her true character by continuing to lie. This family came in with a child who already had an autism diagnosis but never told me. After noticing many delays, I required for him to be evaluated. It was only after the second diagnosis that they told me about the first diagnosis. They lied and said they turned in the special needs paperwork to dshs which they never did. After the son repeatedly tried to run out the front door and attack smaller children, I called mom to pick him up and told her I had spoken with dshs and they had no paperwork turned in for the special needs division and it would need to be turned in within 2 weeks or I’d have to disenroll him. Instead of turning in the paperwork she pulled him out. Addressing the playpen allegation: this child had to sleep in a playpen otherwise he would terrorize the sleeping children. Mom was completely aware that while I was cooking meals or changing diaper “Bobby” would be in the playpen. I had to do that because he was aggressive to other children and would randomly try to run out the door. I also made my licensor aware of me utilizing the playpen during meal preparation and diapers. She said that was fine because the safety of the child was first and foremost . I never kicked the child out. Mom pulled him when I required for her to turn the paperwork so I could get help for him from the state. All of this happened in august yet she wrote the review in february. She most likely tried to get childcare again and they denied her because she left without paying her copay. It’s very disappointing that lying, deceitful parents can come on a platform like this and try to attack a quality provider. With all of this being said, my childcare has remained at full capacity since opening and it was a new family who even told me about this review. Parents, please remember there are always 2 sides to every story. Not just the disgruntled parent’s side. Best of luck to “Bobby” and his family.
I highly recommend Ms. Jill's Home Away From Home for all your childcare and learning needs. The environment is always clean and welcoming, creating a perfect space for children to learn and grow. The kids are not only happy but are also genuinely engaged in a variety of educational activities that foster their development. It's clear that Ms. Jill cares deeply about each child's progress, and it shows in how much the children thrive under her care. An outstanding place for any parent seeking quality childcare!
I have been volunteering at Ms Jills for awhile now and it’s been an amazing experience. I left the last place I was at crying due to the negligence I witnessed and unhappy children. I came here and immediately felt relief to find a great place to be at. The children are happy and cared for. Jill has also given me many resources and helped me see that having a home childcare center is possible! The families are lucky to have her.
MS. Jill is an AMAZING woman and an AMAZING child care provider. I have known Jill for about 4 years now. I have worked with Jill at 2 other centers. I fell in love with the way Ms. Jill cares for as well as teaches these children. Jill has babysat my children a few times overnight prior to opening her own center and they loved watching her progress in opening her own in home daycare. Prior to switching my kids to Ms. Jill's center my kids went to a big center and my 2 youngins would come home crying always upset. At drop off it was a fight and I felt like a terrible mom. NOW with Ms. Jill my babies have to literally be dragged out of the center EVERYDAY. They walk in take off their shoes and immediately run off to begin having an amazing day per usual. They LOVE when I pick up but HATE that they have to leave. My kids get so excited every single morning to go see Ms. Jill. She actually listens and takes the time out of her day at pick up to go over everything that happened. My babies are thriving because of Jill. My kids love her so much its not Ms. Jill its "Auntie Jill". There is NO other place on this earth I trust my babies with then at Ms. Jill's home away from home.
Also since being at Ms. Jill's center my babies have not come home 1 time with a bump or bruise that couldn't be explained.
Jill,
words can not explain how proud of you I am of you for accomplishing your dream and how thankful I am of the child care provider/"aunt" you are to my babies. We love you!!!
Highly recommend to any parent who has anxiety of leaving their children. Im no longer stressed!! A BILLION stars?
I live next door to Jill. She is a great and respectful neighbor and very kind. It’s wonderful hearing happy kids playing and having fun in the neighborhood. Just melts my heart every time. I do want to address the comment Tony Axelsons left. She is stating false things. We never hear the dog, or any dog barking for hours. And there are no honking cars and people yelling Profanity or yelling at all. You could definitely hear it if there was throughout our neighborhood, trust me. Tony is unfortunately a very bitter elderly woman who has nothing else better to do then Harass innocent neighbors that are minding their own business for no reason. My family is one that she has targeted and repeatedly called the police on and made false accusations on us. We have unfortunately been back and forth with the police in the matter along with other neighbors she has harassed. We live in a good neighborhood and all us neighbors know each other and talk to each other and wave. Tony’s husband even waves at us and is nice
Jill has been taking care of my kids for the past 8 years ! I met her when my oldest son was just a toddler and now I have a 4 year old whom she has had the pleasure of caring for as well ! I didn’t think twice when she opened up her home daycare ! I knew My daughter would be a perfect fit . Jill is very nurturing and very hands on when it comes to caring for my kids as well as others ! I trust her and always felt comfortable with her even when she worked at the last daycare center . My children have personally gravitated to her ! I would recommend her daycare to anyone ! I have Jill a list of things that I wanted my daughter to learn before entering kindergarten and there is progress everyday. It’s her purpose to care for children !
I have had my children with Jill since she worked at a daycare center in 2013. All 4 of my children have been in Jill’s care since birth and I trust her with my kids as if she was family. I personally know her 2 children, both of whom are mature respectful adults with both academic scholarships. My 6 year old son was struggling with learning at his previous daycare as the teacher child ratio was at capacity. At Jill’s home away from home she is able to spend the one on one time with my son he needs, and after not even a full 2 months he is able to write his name, and sing his ABC’s, which he was not able to due previous. She potty trained my 2 year old in a matter of a week, and both my 10 and 13 year old daughters beg daily to be allowed to attend the daycare. I must say I am utterly disgusted at the review from her “neighbor” in regards to the “welfare” parents who drop their children off at Jill’s daycare. I personally own my own business, and am far from a welfare parent. Calling into question Jill’s character due to her “sleep schedule” and her weekend activities outside of work hours is both disgusting and unacceptable, and has nothing to do with the care Jill provides for mine or any other kids during her business hours M-F from 7-5:30pm. Bonfires are not illegal in the state of WA last time I checked.... nor is coming home at 2am after working a second job to be able to purchase high chairs, sleeping mats, backyard toys and upscale STEM materials for her daycare. I ABSOLUTELY in a million years would rather support a hard working, single mom who has busted her butt to fulfill her dream of owning her own daycare. Jill isn’t in the business of making money off of these kids.... she genuinely cares about each and every one of her enrolled families and is doing what she can to better the mental health, education, responsibility level and general success of each of the kids in her care. FIVE STARS Ms. Jill, thank you for everything you do. Bonfire this weekend?
Miss Jill has been taking care of my children for the past 6 years (going back to her days at a previous childcare center). She is an exceptional provider. My children come home happy, healthy, and having learned so much. It is hard to see a review, like the one written by Tony, and not feel upset by the lies they have written. This person knows nothing of Miss Jill's character, dedication and love for our children. Not to mention, her center is AMAZING!
Please ignore this disgruntled neighbor's review, and instead take the word of someone who actually trusts her with their children's well being. Miss Jill is 100% the kind of person you want caring for your children!
