Experience: 12 yrs
Nurturing children and fostering their growth has been my professional focus for 12 years. I am an extremely nurturing caregiver, patient and calm who finds true joy in making a positive impact on the lives of the little ones I support. My approach is rooted in being approachable and reliable, ensuring your family feels completely at ease while I care for up to three children. I follow your lead regarding household rules. I enjoy engaging in age-appropriate play that supports cognitive, physical, social and emotional development to keep children active and happy. I am attentive, safety conscious and always provide close supervision for any child in my care. I am also happy to assist with cooking and meal preparation. I prioritize clear communication, providing you with every detail about your child's day upon your return. I am truly honored to be considered a partner in your child's development and look forward to meeting your family.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Tara care for our son from the time he was 6 months old. From day one, she treated him with the same love, patience, and attention that she would give her own child. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your baby is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for when you’re away. Tara was always dependable, nurturing, and attentive to our son’s needs. She spent time engaging with him through play, reading, singing, and age-appropriate activities that supported his development. She was attentive to his feeding schedule, naps, and daily routines, and always kept us informed throughout the day. What truly sets Tara apart is her natural ability to connect with children. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for babies shine through in everything she does. Our son was always excited to see her and clearly felt comfortable and loved in her care. We wholeheartedly recommend Tara to any family looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced nanny or babysitter. She is truly a gem, and any child would be lucky to have her in their life.
