About Tiayra

I like working with kids because it's not work at all. Children are a joy to be around, even on their worst days. They are full of hope, brimming with imagination, and more perceptive than adults give them credit for. I enjoy seeing the world through their eyes, assisting in their milestones, and witnessing their development. Their energy is contagious, and I love joining in their playtime. I'm honored that I can teach them, listen to them, and make them feel safe. My mom was a single parent, so I helped raise my baby brother. I began babysitting for other families as a teenager. I have 27 years experience as a babysitter, 3 years as a professional nanny, and I was a SAHM the first 6 years of my son's life. In my spare time, I like to write poetry and prose. I have a degree in English, and recently won grand prize in a short fiction contest. I also love drawing, watercolor painting, arts and crafts, cooking, baking, meditating, The Beatles, and being outdoors.
