My name is Skylar, I am currently a college student majoring in dental hygiene. I have plenty of experience with kids and pets since I was 14. I am very attentive and mindful when watching children and I practice with them in terms of communication, emotional regulation/support, and of course safety! I also carefully abide by any medication, eating, and bed time schedules. I strive to allow parents to go out on the town again knowing their babies are safe with hourly updates!!
I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.
“Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!”
I’m a preschool teacher with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to older kids. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English and passionate about creating age-appropriate activities that support learning and fun. I love doing arts and crafts, role-play games, cooking simple recipes with children, and having fun dance parties that keep them active and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and nurturing, always focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I’m also comfortable with basic household cleaning and have daily experience caring for dogs, including walking and feeding them. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and highly attentive to children’s needs.
Hello, I consider myself an empathetic, responsible and punctual person, I speak little English but my native language is Spanish if you want your child to speak another language apart from English I can be of great help.
Hello, My name is Meg. I absolutely love working with children. I have 15 + years experience working with children in different settings, as a Preschool teacher, nanny and sitter.

It would be my pleasure to work with you and get to know your precious little ones. Thanks!
