About Taryn

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi I'm Taryn! Here's a bit about me:) I'm 20 years old, and hoping to continue my education in business at dmacc, I've been around kids and helping take care of them since before I could remember, and as the oldest sister of 6, babysitting here and there, helping my mom with her childcare business at home and being a nanny for the past two years I have learned so much about kids and have experience in many different ages. I love to be outdoors, learn about animals, and doing anything art related as it's a really big part of my everyday life! I'm always open to having a little buddy around! My skills include Communication : I am able to use words even when a child might have difficult feelings Creativity: I use my creative skills to help connect with children! Meaning through art, play, or simple everyday tasks. Education: I can use my knowledge of children and different age groups to help create a healthy relationship with any child! Feel free to ask me any questions!

Taryn has served as the nanny for my toddler for 2 years through ages 1-3, and all I can say is - hire her! If you do, your family will feel blessed, because she doesn’t just look after your child, she works hard to support their physical, emotional and intellectual growth. My now 3 1/2 year old is now highly advanced in language and reading because Taryn took the time (voluntarily!) to create learning opportunities that were customized to his interests during her time as his nanny. Taryn is incredibly trustworthy, intelligent, creative, and easy to work with. She offers SO much more than a standard babysitter! I couldn’t recommend her enough for a long term caretaking role in a family’s home.
