About Tara

I'm a nurturing experienced caregiver with over seven years as a top on-call nanny for AN and JJN, plus full-time care for a family of four children. I also spent 15 years as a stay-at-home Mom raising two wonderful kids, giving me a deep, practical understanding of child development and family life. I love animals, -especially dogs- and grew up visiting my grandparents farm, where I became comfortable with pets of all kinds. I'm active and outdoorsy, so dog walking and pet care are a natural fit. I've served as an elementary school art dosing for five years, studied child psychology at PS and earned awards for community and childcare work. I later studied art, photography and graphic design at CWU and have recently returned to college to stay current in my fields. Families describe me as warm, reliable, creative, and easy to work with.
