Hello! My name is Skylyn. I'm a recent graduate in intensive psychology from UCSC, and I'm seeking full-time nanny and babysitting opportunities. I have four years of nanny experience with a wonderful family in Willow Glen, and I recently spent the summer doing social work in the mountains of Colorado. Previously, I worked as a nursing assistant in a hospital before beginning my journey toward becoming a licensed psychotherapist. I'm passionate about supporting children (and people of all ages) in developing healthy coping skills, emotional regulation, and a strong foundation for a fulfilling life. I'm excited to bring patience, creativity, and empathy to a family while saving for graduate school in the coming years.
Skylyn took care of our son from the age of 9 months to 3.5 years old. During that time, she blessed our son and household immensely and is forever a part of our family. She cared for our son with compassion, always ensuring she was listening to him, guiding him, redirecting him, and holding firm boundaries with him, including disciplining him. Skylyn is extremely proactive. She didn't just do what was asked of her (although she did do that!), she took a step back to see the bigger picture to proactively anticipate and meet our son's needs. Skylyn is adaptable. What we, and our son, needed from her over the three years she worked for our family continuously changed as our son grew from a baby into a young boy, and she adapted to every new season and change with an open mind, patience, and grace. Skylyn is truly one-of-a-kind; she is loving, fun, responsible, kind, mature, and hard-working, just to name a few of her many wonderful qualities. I strongly recommend Skylyn and can assure she will take amazing care of your children.
