About Tara

Experience: 6 yrs

Since 2023, I've been a professional caregiver, building on experience that began when I was 14. I provide a loving and considerate environment for positive connection with children. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children! My approach is very ABA, incorporating engaging activities like board games, puzzles, arts and crafts, music, and positive reinforcement. I'm committed to open communication, providing daily reports and updates via text or phone, always following your preferred method. I follow your lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am pursuing my Bachelor's Degree currently and working full time in the ABA field, working daily one on one with autistic children on skill building and goal setting and activity based learning. I have 5+ years experience in the Behavioral Health Field, and I love helping others.
