About Tara

Hi! I'm a caring, reliable, and patient educator with 5 years of experience as a special education teacher in NJ. I've taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade and have experience supporting children with a wide range of learning styles and needs. I'm also trained in Orton-Gillingham and can provide tutoring in reading, phonics, writing, and elementary academics. I love making learning fun, engaging, and confidence-building! In addition to teaching, I'm a certified yoga teacher, which has strengthened my ability to bring patience, mindfulness, and creativity into my work with children. As a babysitter, I'm warm, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy keeping kids active and engaged. I'm also available for pet sitting and can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Whether you need a babysitter, tutor, or pet sitter, I'd love to connect and help your family!
