Hello! My name is Taylor, and I have been a full-time nanny for the past seven years. I have experience with the tiniest of newborns, curious toddlers, and playful preschoolers. My caregiving style is gentle and respectful, while always holding clear and consistent boundaries. I strive to help children grow to be kind, independent, and emotionally healthy; most importantly, though, I want them to always feel safe and loved. Going on adventures is my favorite thing to do with kids! Playgrounds, classes, and libraries are all places we might frequent. I also love going on nature walks, doing sensory play, and encouraging kids to help with daily household tasks. I am currently looking for a full-time position beginning around August. I have experience with two under two, nanny shares, and baby-led weaning. I am also a certified CPST. Please reach out if you think we could be a good fit!
If I could give Taylor more than five stars, I would. She has been one of the greatest gifts to our family, and trusting her with our daughter has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Taylor has the calmest, most grounding presence. She is endlessly patient, thoughtful, and intuitive, and our daughter absolutely adores her. From the time our daughter was a tiny baby, Taylor has treated her with so much love and respect, always meeting her where she is while encouraging her independence and confidence. Every day is filled with meaningful experiences—walks, library trips, playground adventures, sensory activities, music classes, and plenty of time outside exploring the world. Taylor is incredibly intentional about how she engages with children, making even the simplest moments opportunities for learning and growth. What sets Taylor apart most is the values she brings into her work. She models kindness, empathy, curiosity, and respect in everything she does. She creates a calm, predictable environment with loving boundaries, and you can see how safe and secure children feel with her. She doesn't just care for children—she helps shape them into thoughtful, confident little people. She has also become someone our entire family trusts completely. She is dependable, communicative, proactive, and genuinely invested in our daughter's well-being. As parents, there is no greater peace of mind than knowing your child is spending the day with someone who loves them so deeply. The only reason we're saying goodbye is because our family is relocating. If we could pack Taylor up and bring her with us, we would in a heartbeat. Leaving her has honestly been one of the hardest parts of our move. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Taylor. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation. She is truly one of a kind, and whoever hires her next will be gaining someone who will love and care for their children as if they were her own.
