About Tina
Experience: 22 yrs
I have over 20 years of experience working with children from infancy through age 18, including more than 10 years in early childhood education. I have extensive infant-care experience and especially love building a strong bond and connection with the children in my care. One of the most rewarding parts of childcare for me is watching a child grow, learn, and develop over time. I have worked as a preschool and Pre-K teacher, nanny/private caregiver, Head Start teacher, and foster parent. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and am CPR/First Aid certified. I also have experience supporting children with a variety of developmental and learning needs, including ADHD, autism, and Down syndrome. I am currently attending college for Elementary Education (K-5). I believe children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and I enjoy creating a nurturing environment where they can learn, play, explore, and be themselves.
Most recent review
Tina is the most effective child responder I've ever met, whether in schools, churches, or caregiving. She was born to nurture children and adolescents. I have many children with many special needs. She not only took care of them but became their trusted teacher, mentor, and confidant. While she shines with Littles, she also responds to difficult ones who need nuanced understanding, acceptance, support, structure, and repetition. Her instincts are strong, her character unwavering, and her commitment to protect- unwavering. She is honest, stable, smart, trained, fun, and energetic. She partnered with me to shape my children in so many moments, big amd small. You can't ask for anyone better. Truly flawless.
