About Tavia

I have several years of hands on experience caring for children from newborns through teenagers. My background includes private nannying for multiple families, plus work as an Assistant Director at a Montessori based preschool, supporting daily routines and hands on, child led learning. I hold a Master's degree in Higher Education from Lincoln University of Missouri, which strengthened my understanding of how people learn and how to build supportive environments. I am creative, patient, and attentive, and I naturally blend learning into play, outdoor time, and daily routines, including chores and transitions. I am also a photographer and videographer, and I enjoy using age appropriate creative activities. I am currently learning Spanish and introduce simple words and phrases through songs, play, and everyday moments. I have multiple references available upon request.
