Experience: 9 yrs
Hello and welcome! My name is Tahlia. I have been working with children for the last 9 years, since I was 19 years old. I was a consistent and reliable nanny for 5 years, and then branched into the behavioral sciences as a behavior technician. I have maintained babysitter status throughout my graduate studies, and have additionally been working as a social worker. I have experience with children of all ages, and will be a limited licensed psychologist in December of 2025. In my internship and in my research, I have primarily focused on working with children. I am seeking a position from the end of August until December. I have a reliable vehicle, and I am able to do any tasks required. I am passionate about cooking, teaching children life skills and emotional regulation techniques. I identify as queer and am seeking a position with a family that is okay with my identity. I have a plethora of activities and books for children that are therapeutic and evidence based.
Tahlia is wonderful!! My kids look forward to having her watch them every time! She keeps my girls entertained and plays with them. She will also cook and clean which is amazing!!!
