About Taelor

Experience: 7 yrs

At 24 years old, I have just under a decade of childcare experience. I grew up with a single mom who worked incredibly hard, and from a young age I stepped into a caregiving role-not because I had to, but because I loved being there for the people around me. That experience shaped who I am: reliable, calm under pressure, deeply empathetic, and someone kids feel safe with. Now, as a neuroscience PhD student, I bring both heart and science-backed principles to every family I work with. I truly care about kids' emotional well-being, creativity, and growth, and I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. Whether we're building forts, solving puzzles, doing science experiments, or navigating big feelings, I meet each child where they're at-with patience, playfulness, and respect. I'm CPR certified, and happy to help with cooking, tidying, schoolwork, and bedtime routines. Let me know how I can help!

Taelor has been with our family for over three years, and I truly can’t imagine anyone better to trust with our kids. From the beginning, she brought such a calming, warm energy into our home and connected with our children in a way that felt completely natural and effortless. She’s not just a babysitter—she’s a true caregiver who nurtures, educates, and genuinely invests in the growth and happiness of our kids. Whether it’s creating fun learning games, calming tantrums with patience and kindness, or helping with bedtime routines, she handles it all with grace and professionalism. Over the years, she’s become like family to us. Our kids absolutely adore her, and we’ve seen them thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually under her care. She’s dependable, organized, and always communicates clearly with us, which we value so much as parents. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your children as if they were her own, Taelor is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
