About Tamaya
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a nurturer as well as an educator, someone who encourages learning through exploration, and who understands the balance between what a child needs to feel safe and encouraged to reach their full potential. In my experience both the parent and caregiver are partners in order to help the child strive each and every day. I've worked with families and teachers celebrating successes, navigating challenges, and communicating daily about a child's achievements and goals. Trained in early developmental stages and knowledgeable about offering safe, nurturing environments to boost learning. Desire to complement education-based strategies with techniques to promote overall health and wellness. I have a 20-month-old baby girl and she is just a dream come true! I have a clean Cori Record and a licensed Early Education teacher through the state of Massachusetts. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

We are so thankful we found Tamaya. She was available for full-time care for our 5-month old son for 3 weeks as I was transitioning jobs, and we could not have had a better experience. She was thoughtful, kind, and patient with both us as parents and with our son. She not only did such a fantastic job of working with our routines and specific ways we do things, but she also brought her own vast experience that helped us learn so much. She even came prepared with theme weeks and fun activities for our son, despite him only being 5-months old! I could talk endlessly about how great Tamaya is, but the simplest thing I can say is that she will forever be our first call if we need care for our child, and we know he will be cared for and loved!
