A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Taylor, and I would love the opportunity to work with your family. I grew up in a family of six, so I’ve always been surrounded by kids and naturally learned how to be patient, adaptable, and attentive to different needs.
I have over 6 years of experience working with children through Life Time’s Kids Academy, summer camps, and the rock wall, where I worked with ages ranging from 0–13. Through these roles, I’ve gained experience creating a fun and safe environment while also maintaining structure.
This past year, I nannied for a 1-year-old, which allowed me to build a strong, one-on-one connection and take on daily routines like meals, naps, and developmental activities. That experience showed me how much I enjoy being a consistent presence in a child’s life.
I genuinely love working with kids and take pride in being someone families can trust. I’m reliable, energetic, and caring, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment.
