Experience: 10 yrs
Nurturing children and watching them blossom is truly my passion. For the past 10 years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I hold a college degree and am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. My approach is patient and creative; I love engaging kids with outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I prioritize clear communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. Ultimately, I aim to be a positive influence in your children's lives, offering a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive. I hope to bring my experience and love for childcare to your family.
Reference for Tarin – Nanny/Tutor (2017–2020) To whom it may concern, It is my absolute pleasure to provide a wholehearted and enthusiastic reference for Tarin, who worked with our family as a nanny and tutor from 2017 to 2020. During that time, she cared for our four children, two girls (an infant and a toddler at the time) and two preteen boys—with a level of skill, patience, and genuine warmth that is truly rare. Exceptional Childcare Across All Ages Tarin demonstrated an impressive ability to adapt to the very different needs of each child. She was gentle, attentive, and nurturing with our baby and toddler, always prioritizing safety, developmental play, and emotional comfort. At the same time, she connected beautifully with our preteen boys, offering structure, guidance, and respect while still keeping things fun and engaging. Outstanding Tutoring and Educational Support One of Tarin’s greatest strengths is her natural talent for teaching. She supported our boys academically with consistency and creativity, helping them stay organized, motivated, and confident. She explained concepts clearly, encouraged curiosity, and always tailored her approach to each child’s learning style. Their grades and overall attitude toward school improved noticeably under her guidance. Professional, Reliable, and Trustworthy Tarin was consistently punctual, dependable, and proactive. She communicated clearly, handled challenges with calm confidence, and always maintained a positive, solutions‑oriented attitude. We trusted her completely—not only with our children’s care and education, but also with the rhythm of our household. A Truly Special Presence in Our Home What sets Tarin apart is her heart. She brought warmth, joy, and stability into our home every day. Our children adored her, and we as parents felt deeply supported. Even after her time with us ended, she remained someone we speak of with gratitude and affection. I recommend Tarin without hesitation for any nanny and/or tutor position. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. Sincerely, Melissa
