A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Skylar, I have been involved with watching and taking care of kids for at least the last nine years. I’ve worked at a summer camp with kids aged 5-13, and my own siblings range in age from 4-9. I love being outside (thank goodness it’s summer!!) and adore any animals or pets you may also have. I have no problem helping tidy up and meal prep, I’m just happy to help! Please message me with any questions or concerns you may have! 💛

Hi! My name is Elaine! I'm 20 years old, and have been raising kids since I was 13. I grew up in a very rural family, but I can keep up with anything. I, myself, am autistic, I and have helped raise children with special needs, food sensitivities, religious and cultural differences, and temperament troubles. I never do anything half-way, and I love a challenge. Right now I Don't have a vehicle (but I do have a license), but I'm saving for one! I promise I will have transportation, though. If there's anything you'd like to know about me, feel free to ask! Have a wonderful day.
