About Tara

Experience: 8 yrs

I am a mother of (2) children, am currently obtaining a master's degree in special education, and have a passion for caring for others. I have countless hours of experience caring for the elderly, cancer patients, and those with special needs. I recognize how hard it can be to care for a loved one who is aging or struggling with their health, and would be honored to assist your family. I enjoy engaging those I care for in long chats/storytelling, games, reading, trips to museums, and a plethora of outdoor adventures. Your loved one's time with me will have them well cared for, engaged, and happy from all of our adventures together. I am also a very neat and organized person, so your home will always be left clean. I'm open to helping around the house as well if needed with tasks such as cleaning, laundry, groceries, etc. Please reach out to me with any questions. I greatly look forward to meeting you and your family someday soon.

Tara has been an outstanding caregiver for our son, Jordan. From the very beginning, she has been reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. What makes Tara so special is the energy and genuine care she brings every time she is with Jordan. She is engaging, attentive, and truly connects with him in a way that feels natural and sincere. She shows up with a positive attitude, keeps him involved, and treats him with kindness, patience, and respect. Tara is also a great communicator, which is so important when trusting someone to care for your child. She is dependable, thoughtful, and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. We feel very fortunate to have Tara in Jordan’s life and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful caregiver.
