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.

The best!! We absolutely loved Latierra!!!! She took care of my ten month old baby while I was working in DC for the week. Her warmth and skill came across immediately. She taught me things about parenting I didn't even know. She showed up early each day, was incredibly flexible with my fluctuating schedule, made sure to leave the room tidy, washed bottles, and even ran a quick errand for me! My little girl was delighted to see her everyday. Latierra even supported my little girl in standing up for the first time. I loved all of the photos and videos she sent, and she kept a detailed log of what happened throughout the day. 10/10 recommend! I will definitely work with her again any time I'm back in DC. 

We are so grateful to have met Tierra. I met Tierra at local music class where she was caring for a little boy. I quickly observed how good she was with the child she was caring for, but also how sweet she was while proactively interacting with my son. I should note how calm and relaxed the little boy was who she was caring for. When Tierra offered to babysit for our son sometime I knew I could trust her based on her interaction with the boy she was caring for and by the casual conversations we had during class. Tierra has watched our 11 month old one time so far and we are looking forward to having her again. Tierra is very quick to respond to request for babysitting and communicates very clearly via text.  She arrived 15 minutes early and was very receptive to all of my instruction. After I left the house she communicated updates with texts and pictures. She was such a calm presence for our son and was so sweet to rock him to sleep and give him lots of extra cuddles. 

This was my first time using Care.com so we were initially understandably hesitant but I knew when Latierra applied, she was the right person, and somehow is even better! She arrived earlier just to put us at ease, was so kind and loving to our son, and I immediately felt at ease with her being around him. It was the best experience ever and we are so grateful for her help. If I could give ten stars, I would. 

Did not get an opportunity to work with her; however, when we expressed our lack of interest, she appeared to have a bit of an attitude.  Last thing I want my infant around is someone who gives attitude with the slightest inconvenience or rejection.  Wishing her the best, but not my type of care provider either way. 

Tia babysat our one year old and was a great babysitter! She showed up slightly early, asked questions to make sure she knew how to handle things, and gave us updates through the night. I would definitely recommend working with her. 

Such a wonderful sitter! My kids were very nervous about having a new babysitter and I was worried how it would go. She is clearly an expert on helping kids quickly feel comfortable in her care. They adored her, and so did I! We have had her come back several times and I am always impressed by how professional she is while still being so friendly and warm. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a babysitter!

Our daughter is speech delayed and autistic. Latierra interacted with her wonderfully and we noticed that our daughter was much chattier the next day.  We've hired Latierra twice so far and plan to continue doing so on a regular basis.

Latierra was punctual, kind, instructional, and communicative. We would definitely hire her again!

Latierra was so great with my 20 month old daughter who she cared for while I was in town on business. She was communicative and gave me regular updates. My daughter was having a bit of separation anxiety, and Latierra was really good about letting my daughter feel how she was feeling while finding ways to comfort (she took her for a walk through the hotel to calm her). She also noticed my daughter pulling on her ears, and gave me heads up which turned out to be double ear infections when I took her to the doctor when I got home. You can tell she is a mama, and she really treated my daughter with the care of one.

We had Tierra come for a three days in August to help watch the boys while we managed our move. Right off the bat I knew we were in great hands. Tierra was so good with my boys (3 and 1). They absolutely loved her, and we are definitely hiring her again (already set in fact). So happy to have found her in a new city!

Latierra is the best babysitter I ever had! She took care of my 16 month old son over two evenings. He smiled at her and warmed up to her at first sight which is impressive because he usually does not like strangers. She has a wonderful personality, any parent and child would adore her. She is a great communicator and is on time. She was perfect! I would hire her again. Thank you Tierra!

LaTierra was a phenomenal babysitter! We were visiting from out of town for a wedding. She came to our rental and watched our 22-month-old daughter for about 7 hours. She also brought her little girl who is the same age, and that was an extra special treat for our daughter. She fed, bathed, and successfully put our daughter to bed in a totally new environment. She sent us updates throughout the evening so that we knew things were going well. Next time we visit DC we will definitely hire her again!

LaTierra = professional, pleasant, engaging, empathetic and entertaining. Thank you for providing such great care for my family.

Tierra has always been our go to sitter after our initial interview back in 2021. She's great at communicating, very punctual, and keeps the kids entertained and engaged in activities throughout their time with her. She's been very flexible to accommodate our needs if they change during our date nights. I'd recommend her without reservation!

I hired Latierra to mind the children at my parents 50th wedding anniversary party. She took care of the 7 or so children at the children's table, helping them get their drinks, food, and clean up spills. She helped them eat their meals and otherwise oversaw them while the adults could enjoy the party. She arrived on time and was professional and caring. I also assigned her a special project during the event, which she completed successfully and as directed. Please note she may not accept checks, so discuss payment preferences with her beforehand. If I have future needs involving childcare, I would certainly hire her again without reservation. Latierra did an excellent job; I'm so lucky she applied to my job.

Tierra was amazing! She watched my almost-4 month old for a week when we had a gap in childcare during one of his (so far) worst fussy phases and kept him occupied with songs, books, and other educational toys. He loved her so much, and I was so much more relaxed (it was my second week back at work) knowing that he was in good hands. We would 100 percent hire her again!

arrived on time, was great with the baby and sent updates periodically. 10/10 experience

Tierra was amazing with our 3 boys. She watched my 3 year old son, and his cousins who are 4 and 1. The boys loved her and had a great time and she even got them to bed much earlier than we had been able to do! She was easy to work with, communicative, and really positive. She sent us lots of updates about how much fun the kids were having and what they were up to (which we asked for and loved.) I really appreciated that she straightened up the place too before we got home. We would strongly recommend and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Latierra was awesome and my kids had a great time. She was able to keep up with my 3 boys without any trouble at all. Plus, my house was clean and tidy when I got home. We will definitely have her back!
