A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I am 19 years old. I currently live in Kentucky, but I am open and willing to relocate for a live-in position.

I have been working with children for nearly three years, with experience ranging from newborns to six years old. I strongly believe that structure and age-appropriate curriculum play an important role in a child’s development, and I enjoy helping children learn and grow through daily routines and engaging activities.

I am also happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other household tasks as needed. I have had my driver’s license for two years, am CPR certified, and have completed language education certifications in Spanish and Korean.

I look forward to speaking with you and learning more about your family. Thank you for your time and consideration!
