About Tamarra

I have consistently worked in child care and education since the age of 16. I graduated from DU with a degree in English and Theater in 2018, which gave me a deep love for stories, playfulness, and the importance of both when working with children. I love playing pretend, reading aloud, and creating stories with kids! I currently work with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival's education department where I'm both an administrative assistant and and an educator. This job allows me to work with 3rd through 12th graders, where I lead workshops that pair theatre and violence prevention theory to teach kids conflict resolution skills. I have a large amount of experience with kids both in the classroom and through private nannying jobs. Most recently, I nannied full time for a 12-month-old (who was 5 months when I started!), but had to stop when the pandemic hit for safety reasons. I've also nannied for toddlers, elementary age children, and middle schoolers.
