Meet Skylar

  • Speaks Portuguese
  • Comfortable with pets

Hi There! My name is Skylar, and I am an energetic young professional who loves children, with a demonstrated history of working in childcare both in the classroom and at home. As the oldest of five girls, I have been babysitting neighbors and family friends since I was just 12 years old, and have continued to foster relationships with the kids in my community ever since. I have been a consistent member of three New England families over the last five years, working as both a daytime and overnight sitter (whilst performing light cleanup, laundry, and cooking). I also have been working in childcare for over 7 years in after school programs and summer camps, and currently serve as a substitute teacher for a preschool. I also have five years of experience in tutoring, with specialty training in reading! What sets me apart from other sitters is my commitment to Read more educational playtime with your children! I have a demonstrated ability to create dynamic, hands-on projects for littles, and love finding ways to make them excited about learning from the world around them! I take great joy in my ability to form deep, trusting relationships with the kiddos I spend my days with, and make it a priority to encourage curiosity regarding art and the natural world as much as possible. Given the opportunity to work with your little one, I could imagine us spending many days together at the park and creating arts and crafts! I have worked with families in which I cook healthy meals, do laundry, and tutor before. I have been trained in CPR and first aid, as well as trauma informed care. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks for your time.
