Hi future host family!

My name is Jillian, I am 26 years old from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

I am looking to leave my corporate job in Pediatric Medical Device Sales to spend my time doing something more enjoyable, memorable and akin my personal values (kindness, adventure, fulfillment, health, and open-mindedness). I have found myself in a position where I am living to work, and I want to work to live.

I have a deep appreciation for, and sincerely enjoy working with children. Working with children has been a part of my life since I was old enough to work; I have many well established references from over the years. I am a lover of animals, travelling, adventure, and consider myself a life-long learner. Outside of work, I spend lots of time with family and friends, I am a part of two trail running clubs, and I head coach a 17U Girls' Volleyball Team. My hobbies include hiking, camping, cycling, running, knitting and gardening. You will often find my two doggies by my side. I am hard working, organized, creative, and active.

I will be applying to a Master's of Physician Assistant Studies program this fall, which would be set to begin in September 2026. In my professional life I have a sincere passion for helping others, an ambition to learn and an interest in human health. I read many non-fiction books in this area of study purely for fun.

It would be a dream to experience living and working abroad before going back to school for my Master's. I hope to create meaningful memories and bonds during my time as an au pair with your family. I would welcome an opportunity to connect and learn more about your family. Thank you for your consideration!

Kindly,

Jillian
