A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Baylie Horten, I’m 23 years old, and caring for children has always been my passion. From working in gym nurseries to hands-on experience at a daycare center, I’ve jumped at every opportunity to be part of a child’s world. I’m currently halfway through earning my degree in Early Childhood and Special Education, with plans to finish once I’ve saved up—because continuing my education is just as important to me as the work I do now. I bring high energy, a creative spirit, and a go-with-the-flow attitude that helps me connect with kids on their level. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I truly thrive with the littlest ones, where patience, play, and presence make all the difference. Whether it's crafts, outdoor adventures, or cozy storytime, I’m here to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can be exactly who they are!
