About Tara

Experience: 5 yrs

Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I bring several years of experience providing safe, supportive, and engaging care. I enjoy creating a fun and educational environment through outdoor activities, games, and learning opportunities. I am comfortable maintaining household routines and keeping open communication with parents through updates in whatever form they prefer. I hold a current BLS certification and have some college coursework completed. In addition, I am training as a Doula, which adds to my nurturing and supportive approach to childcare. I am also happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and travel. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and enriching environment for children to learn and grow.

We feel so fortunate to have found Tara! She is caring, patient, and attentive, making us feel confident from day one that our daughter is in great hands. Her communication is excellent—she keeps us updated and makes an effort to align seamlessly with our routines. We often refer to her as ‘baby whisperer' who gets our tough napper to sleep when no one else can! She brings warmth and calm to our home, and we highly recommend her to any family wanting someone to care for their child like her own.
