About Tara

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm a responsible & caring individual with extensive nannying, babysitting, teaching, tutoring and care giving experience. I have 15 years history working as a nanny, babysitter and professional caregiver at a licensed facility. I have a Master's Degree in Child & Adolescent Psychology and have worked with children facing behavioral issues, physical disabilities and mental health disorders. I have found through my experience working with hundreds of different children that every one is truly unique and the approach you take to care for everyone should be as such. I am dependable and love to spend time devoted to making a child's life more enjoyable and fulfilling. My availability for childcare, tutoring, senior care, pet sitting and behavioral therapy is provided on my calendar. Kids love being around me and I love being around them. Childcare and care giving are some of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had, and I learn just as much from others as they learn from me.

Tara has been our nanny the past 9 months. We knew the day would come when she would need to focus on her professional career, but are so sad to lose her. She took fantastic care of our son and the other baby in our nanny share set up. As first time parents, she was able to help guide us in the right direction for sleep training and developmental milestones. I strongly recommend her
