Experience: 12 yrs
Hello, my name is TaNia . Here is some information about me; I started working with kids 12 years ago as a paid babysitter for friends, close family, and those that were referred to me by my friends and close family. 12 years later, I have not only deepened my love for childcare, but, I have increased my expertise in my experience which have made me an exemplary caregiver and a various amount of aspects. I am CPR certified and have a BA in Early Childhood Education from Purdue University. I love building relationships with the families that I work with, and I take it very seriously as if it's my own life. I strive to be the best in my field, not only as a teacher in the daytime, but as an independent entrepreneur that can help families in my community as well. I am currently an early childhood education teacher at a school in East Chicago and have had a pleasure of other experiences working at daycare around the Indiana Northwest region.
Tania is so kind and patient with my foster child, even when he isn't being the easiest to deal with. You can tell she really loves children and has such a kind soul. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.
