About Tara

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! My name is Tara. I have a degree in Child Development from Cal State Fullerton and am CPR certified. I have many years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to elementary and middle school-aged children. I was a preschool teacher throughout college and continued working with children after graduating. I was also a stay-at-home mom for 17 years while raising my three children, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust and depend on. I'm looking for a nanny position where I can be a helping hand to a family and make a busy mom's day a little easier. I'm happy to help with the children's daily routines, school drop-offs and pickups, activities, meals, homework, and keeping them happy, safe, and cared for. I'm warm, dependable, patient, and genuinely love being around children. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can count on!

Tara is truly such a warm and nurturing presence. My 2 year old son was going through some separation issues when I left him with Tara. I was apprehensive to say the least given he was a very unhappy camper when I left. I came home to find he and Tara cuddled up on the couch reading books just as happy as could be. He even hesitated to come running to me because he was so happy hanging out with Tara. You can tell Tara has the patience, nurturing and understanding that comes with being a seasoned mother. Tara's children are lucky to have her and you will be too if she sits for your family.
