Hi my name is Skai! That rhymes :) The spelling is Swedish but it sounds just like sky. I have worked as an au pair, nanny, babysitter, mother’s helper as well as a teacher (grades 4-9). I love the energy that kids exude and I enjoy reflecting and directing that energy. I’m an arts and crafts whiz, an avid reader and a great listener (and talker!). If your kid is a builder or maker, engaging their creativity is one of my favorite treats! I’m an animal lover and experienced pet sitter. I primarily care for dogs but gladly take the opportunity to spend time with kitties when possible! I have worked in all different kinds of childcare environments. At 19 I moved as an au pair to Stockholm to help a Swedish family improve their children's English skills. and continued to work for this family of six for five years Read more while I attended university and explored other careers. (2012-2017) I built a similar relationship with a family in Eden Prairie MN, they were looking to teach their children Swedish before a transatlantic move. I was able to work with this family in MN & Stockholm, Sweden. (2020-2022) I'm a creative, responsible and nurturing individual with a positive demeanor! I strike the balance between structured and flexible necessary to best care for "my" kiddo. *Global Perspectives in Education, BA Stockholm University *4th & 5th grade teacher (Language Arts & Social Studies) *5 year nanny 4 kids (2012, start ages: 3, 7, 9, 11 & 2017, end ages: 8, 12, 14, 16) *2 year nanny 2 kids (2020 start ages: 2020, ages: 1 & 3 2022 ages: 3 & 5)
