A little bit about me

Hi there!! Im taylor im 21 years old and I’m CPR and First Aid certified ❤️⛑️ and hold a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license, so your child will be in good hands.

I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to 10 years old, both one-on-one and in group settings.

At my church, I regularly cared for infants through 2nd grade 🍼🧸—helping with feeding, playtime, naptime, and creating a safe, comforting environment.

I’ve also babysat for family members, including a 4-year-old and a 10-year-old, during the day and overnight 🌙. I took care of meals, daily routines, playtime, and bedtime stories 📚💤. Plus, I provided after-school care for a 10-year-old over several months—helping with homework ✏️📘 and practicing sports together 🏀.

I love working with kids and creating fun, structured routines that help them feel happy, secure, and supported! 😊

A little bit about me

I grew up in Carlsbad with both parents, my older sister and lots of pets\animals ... people say that I am funny and a kid at heart... Very honest and compassionate... I was a professional fashion model before I got married and had a son... Then, I became a full-time stay at home mother, which I absolutely loved... He is now in his 20's ... But yes, I really enjoyed spending time with my son and his friends, having pool parties in our back-yard, going to the beach, movies, and of course, playing with the family cat and pug-dog.... Life is all about family and friends....
