My name is Taylor! I credit my nurturing and caring demeanor as being the eldest of 7 siblings. In my experience I started babysitting at 15 years old and then accepted a part-time nannying job when I turned 16 for two children that were 6 and 10 at the time. I enjoy all aspects that come with caring for children.
