A little bit about me

I am a pediatric RN who is looking for a better work life balance. I worked as in I home caregiver for children with developmental disabilities to put myself through Nursing School, and currently an taking a break from my work at Mary Bridge Children's hospital.

I am looking for a family for whom perhaps I could transition out of bedside nursing. While I have thoroughly e joyed my time at a pediatric nurse, the industry has simply worn me out, and while I understand the position is not nursing based, I am sure my experience is transferrable.

My nursing license is active, and I specialized in emergency medicine, bringing my family and yours some peace of mine when it comes to the care of the little ones.

I am also married, live in Olympia, and have a 6 year old son of my own, so the mother touch is there too. I have a license to drive and my own vehicle, although it is a small commuter car, and a larger vehicle would need to be available for use if the position demands it.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Skye! 
I've been working with children since I was 18, but my love for caring for kids started much earlier—growing up with a teacher as a parent meant I spent a lot of time in the classroom, and I quickly found joy in helping and engaging with little ones.
I'm currently a caregiver at Evergreen’s childcare center in Olympia, where I get to support children’s growth through play, learning, and compassionate care every day. I'm also a student at The Evergreen State College, studying Psychology with an emphasis in Art Therapy. This path deepens my understanding of child development and helps me bring creativity, patience, and emotional insight to my work with children.
Whether I’m caring for infants or engaging older kids in crafts and conversation, I bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine passion for helping children feel safe, seen, and supported. I would love the opportunity to bring that same energy to your family!
