The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny...
It is too hard to choose! However, if I had to pick something, it would be when a child learns something new and the excitement that goes along with it. Right now, the 4 year old I watch is learning how to add and tell time, and it is so fun and inspiring to watch her figure it out!

Hi families! My name is Skylar, I am 23 years old and I was born and raised in Otsego, MI. I graduated High School in 2020 undecided on what I wanted to do so I then began my job search. I was welcomed into a nannying position by a wonderful family that took a chance on me and it sparked up a love and passion I didn’t know I had. This has led me to almost four years of nanny experience! In the past it started with coaching younger kids in sports and spending time with young family members and it all lead to the love I have for nannying. In my free time I love to spend time with my dog, keep my body moving and be active, spend time with friends and family, cook, and go compete on the golf course. I love to prioritize a good healthy balance between work and my personal life.
