About Tara

Experience: 6 yrs

Hello! I have had over six years of professional experience in the childcare field, I've had the opportunity to work with children of all ages in a variety of settings-including private homes, daycare centers, and schools. My background includes extensive experience in infant care and development, and toddler care as well as a strong focus on fostering social and emotional growth. I bring a calm, nurturing presence and prioritize creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment for every child in my care. I'm also trained as a swim instructor and lifeguard, and my lifelong involvement in dance and gymnastics allows me to bring a fun, active energy to my work. In addition to my childcare expertise, I enjoy incorporating outdoor play, creative arts and crafts, and nature-based activities into daily routines. Your child's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

Tara is an amazing caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, kind, and trustworthy—and our kids absolutely loved her. We felt so lucky to have her as our nanny before our children transitioned to full-time daycare. I would recommend her 10/10 to any family!
