About Tahani

Hi! I am CPR certified and have taken beginning and intermediate American Sign Language and am happy to use this with your children if you'd like! I have worked in childcare for five years now. I have worked as a Teacher Aide in a preschool (2-6) for two years and as a Teacher at a K-8 after school care program as well as working during a summer for YMCA's youth summer camps (PK-8). I am licensed SLPA specialized in ASD. As a babysitter, I follow a trauma informed care point when working with kids. Simply put, my view on the children I work with is 'what happened to elicit this behavior' instead of 'what is wrong with you'. I follow intuitive eating and do not restrict foods when working with my kiddos. I incorporate Dialectical Skills when working with children and safety as my main qualities. I also focus on using gentle parenting and choices to set boundaries in my care. I am interning this year so I'm looking to sit primarily for date nights or in the evening and weekends!
