About Skylar

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi! I'm a recent MD graduate from SIU School of Medicine, currently working in psychiatry research while studying for my boards. Working with kids has been a consistent part of my life. I have experience caring for children from infants to teenagers through private babysitting, full-time daycare, educational settings, and healthcare environments. My background in medicine and interest in child development give me a real appreciation for how different kids' needs can be. It's also a big reason I'm pursuing child and adolescent psychiatry. I'm patient, easygoing, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm happy to help with homework, games, simple meals or snacks, or a smooth bedtime routine. I take the responsibility seriously and like keeping parents informed. I'm most available Friday and Saturday evenings and am completely comfortable managing bedtime so you can get out and enjoy your night. I'd love to meet your family!
