A little bit about me

Hi, families!

I'm Skylar, a Louisiana native, and I am so excited to talk to you about your child/ren's needs! My experience with children ranges from babysitting/nanny roles to preschool teaching roles, including a Montessori preschool, with ages 1-11 years old. I have a passion for ensuring the safety, wellbeing, confidence, and growth in your child.

I am a creative, artistic, playful, and empathetic person. I can speak an upper intermediate French level and I have experience in petcare (and fully welcome it!) through my past kennel assistant and dogsitting roles. I am a huge animal lover and I am willing to join families with any types of pets. I also am familiar with doing light housekeeping/chores, such as washing dishes/bottles, tidying areas, meal prep and some cooking, as well as letting out/caring for pets.

I am a great learner and very adaptive to new experiences, please do not hesitate to reach out!

A little bit about me

Hello! Growing up i’ve always dreamed of being a mom and taking care of kids. I never had any younger siblings growing up so i’ve always naturally just wanted to be around kids. I started off taking a child care class in high school where we created mini lessons to help the kids advance with english, writing, math, using their fine and gross motor skills. I enjoy being with kids because nothing is better and more rewarding than watching a child learn and be so excited when they understand what’s going on around them. I feel like the most important time in someone life is their childhood and knowing that i can make the best impact and give them the best care possible gives me comfort. I look forward any opportunities in the future!
