Hi! My name is Taylor, and I have a strong background in childcare both personally and through experience. I am a current grad student getting my degree in clinical mental health counseling. As a mom, I understand firsthand the level of care, patience, and attention children need to feel safe and supported. In addition to raising my own child, I have experience babysitting and caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meal preparation, playtime, and creating a positive, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy working with kids and supporting their growth and development. I look forward to the opportunity to help care for your child!
