The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a nurturing, dependable, and enriching environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I do not have much experience with special needs children; however, I am an adaptable person who has worked closely with students that have 504s or IEPS.

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.

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.
