A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Skylar, and I’m passionate about caring for children and creating a safe, positive environment for them to grow and have fun. I have experience working with kids from infants all the way up to age 17, so I’m comfortable adapting to different ages, needs, and personalities.
I would describe myself as patient, reliable, and nurturing. I enjoy activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping kids stay engaged in fun, meaningful ways. I’m also happy to assist with homework, prepare simple meals, and keep up with routines like naps and bedtime.
As a Christian, my values are rooted in kindness, respect, and integrity, and I bring that into the way I care for children and support families.
I’m available on weekdays and Saturdays, and I’d love the opportunity to be a helpful and trustworthy addition to your family!

A little bit about me

Hey, I'm Grace! I'm a senior at Morehead High and a future MSUM Dragon. I've been working at the YMCA for almost a year now, gaining hands-on experience with kids of all ages. Before that, I spent plenty of time taking care of my younger siblings, so I know how to keep up with different personalities and energy levels. I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and free to be themselves while still keeping things structured. If you're looking for a reliable babysitter who knows how to keep kids engaged, I'd love to help!

I'd describe my personality as thoughtful, adaptable, and empathetic.

I like working with kids because because they're unpredictable in the best way. It's rewarding to build trust with them and create a space where they feel comfortable just being themselves.
