About Tara

Experience: 10 yrs

With nearly a decade of experience as an elementary teacher (TK-3rd grade), I bring expertise in childhood development and a hands-on, playful style that fosters growth. I create engaging environments that support development, build confidence, and spark curiosity. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with educational needs like homework help or tutoring, as well as household tasks. My professional background ensures patient, personalized care tailored to each child's unique needs.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Tara as a Nanny for our boys, 3yrs old and 10 months old. She was nothing short of amazing. Not only was she incredible with the kids, but she also supported our household in many other ways. She helped with cleaning, organizing, meal prep, and laundry, all while keeping the boys on their routines. She knew how to gently redirect our toddler, mirrored patience, and always engaged with him on his level while also introducing learning moments and emotional reflection. She consistently asked thoughtful questions, sent us helpful updates, and made sure we were in the loop with everything going on. Our 10 month old absolutely loved his time with Tara and was always being exposed to fun and new activities. She often went above and beyond to introduce creativity and learning into the daily routine and always supported his changing needs and helped him gradually adjust through each milestone and developmental stages. We will truly miss having her as our nanny and would gladly keep her if circumstances would have allowed. Her presence brought us so much peace of mind, and any family would be lucky to have her.
