Experience: 4 yrs
My name is Taryn, I'm 29 years old, I love the outdoors and music. I have 4 years of paid experience caring for children aged newborn to pre-teen but have been baby sitting from a young age and have been helping alit of my family members and friends raise their children in the early years of life. I'm patient, creative, and communicative, ready to engage your children with outdoor games, puzzles, and educational activities. I can comfortably care for up to three children and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, crafts, play time, and any needs you have. I am also CPR certified. I prioritize open communication and will follow your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules, and with my own car, I'm available for travel. I'm excited about the possibility of bringing my energy and dedication to your family, and I look forward to creating a safe and fun environment where your children can thrive.
Taryn has been an incredible nanny for our family. We started working with her 2 months ago and will have her working with our family until June. We have two boys aged 2 and 5 and she has done an amazing job connecting with both in the ways that each age range needs. She spends one on one time drawing, building, talking, writing, etc during down time at home, does pick-up and drop-off at school, takes them to OMSI, and in general promotes learning and growth. She listens to the needs of both our boys and my wife and I and has been exceptionally flexible with our lives as we juggle a lot of moving parts. I would happily provide a reference for anyone who hires her in the future.
