A little bit about me

Hey hey! I'm Taylor, I'm a current freshman at Saint Louis University. I am a Pre Med Biology major with a minor in Psychology. I am fairly new to the babysitting world, but I love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.

Right now, I am available after 12PM on Tuesdays, after 2PM on Thursdays, and weekends to watch your children! I have experience preparing meals for children with dietary restrictions as I once was vegetarian. I am working to get CPR and basic first aid certification. When I am not in school or babysitting, I enjoy crocheting and making chocolate covered strawberries. I'd love the opportunity for to bond with you and your families!
