A little bit about me
Hello my name is Tay, I am a dedicated child care worker, looking to bring my light to assist parents with their children and homes. In my free time I do yoga, like to be in nature, and like to indulge myself in knowledge. I have been working with kids all my life. My first nanny job I got in high school where I was a live in nanny for a family of 3, this is where I gained a lot of the knowledge I now utilize. In my previous roles I worked in foster care with kids with behavioral challenges. I am trauma informed and also have a background in mindfulness and yoga.

"Taylea nannied and babysat for me over 4 years. From the time my daughters were newborns until school aged. Taylea is great with children of all ages and multiple children at a time. She is trustworthy, attentive, and goes above and beyond. She is skilled at adjusting to each individual child’s needs. There was always great communication and she always showed up in timely fashion whenever she was needed. I never had a problem trusting her with my home or children. I would highly recommend Taylea."

Hello! My name is Mercedes, and I’m excited about the opportunity to work as a nanny for your family. I am currently a nursing student with a strong interest in working in a neonatal or pediatric unit in the future, so caring for children is truly something I am passionate about. I have experience babysitting for family members and family friends. I take pride in being extremely caring and dependable, and I will always treat your children as if they were my own. I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and planning fun activities that keep kids engaged and happy. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable cooking and cleaning for the kids, doing light housekeeping, and caring for pets if needed. My goal is to provide not just supervision, but a positive and enriching experience for your children, while giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands.
