About Latierra

Experience: 13 yrs

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With 13 years of experience in childcare, I hold a college degree with coursework in Early Childhood Education and Early Child Development. I am also certified in First Aid Training. My approach is patient, creative, and calm, ensuring your child feels supported and inspired every day. I love engaging children through outdoor sports and educational games that spark their imagination. I am fully comfortable enforcing your household rules to maintain consistency. I prioritize clear communication, providing updates via your preferred method so you always feel connected to your child's day. I am happy to assist with carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. My goal is to provide reliable, high-quality care that makes a positive impact on your family. I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted part of your child's world.

When our childcare unexpectedly fell through, we found ourselves in a real pinch. From the very first conversation with Latierra, though, we immediately felt at ease. She has such a calm, warm presence, and we trusted her with our 8-month-old daughter from day one. Tia has two young daughters of her own and a background in education, and it truly shows in everything she does. She took exceptional care of our baby, following our routine while also paying close attention to our daughter's cues and individual needs. She somehow managed to get her to take long, restful naps every day (a true talent!), and our daughter was always happy, engaged, and well cared for. Throughout the day, Tia kept us updated with thoughtful messages and sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. She is incredibly responsive, communicative, dependable, and professional. One thing that consistently amazed us was that we came home each evening to a house that was cleaner than when we left. She went above and beyond without ever being asked. Finding someone you trust with your child is one of the hardest things a parent can do, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Tia. She turned what started as a stressful situation into such a positive experience for our family. We are so grateful for the care she gave our daughter, and we will absolutely be hiring her again. We recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone who is kind, experienced, reliable, and genuinely wonderful with children.
