Experience: 5 yrs
Hi, my name's Tayná, but you can call me Tay. I'm 27 years old and have 2 years of experience working as an au pair, caring for a baby (from 4 months to 2 years old) and a child (ages 4 to 6). This experience has solidified my commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. In addition, I have 3 years of experience as an English teacher, working with both children and teenagers. This allows me to incorporate learning into playtime in a fun and engaging way. I enjoy involving children in outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and especially educational activities. I believe in open communication with parents and I'm happy to tailor my approach to your preferred parenting style. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid, comfortable around pets, and hold a California driver's license with a clean driving record. I'm excited to bring my patient, creative, and friendly personality to your family and to help create a positive and enriching experience for your children.
Tay is truly wonderful - we’ve kept extending her end date with us because it’s been so hard to let her go. She has been with our family for 2.5 years and has become such an important part of our lives. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy (she has never called in sick and is always flexible), completes all tasks as asked, and has a consistently warm, positive presence. She loves playing with the kids, taking them on little adventures, and bringing fun, loving energy into our home. She communicates well, is sweet and thoughtful, and our daughters truly see her as a big sister. I especially appreciate how she helps reinforce good manners, routines, and respectful behavior - she is loving while still setting healthy boundaries. Beyond childcare, she has been a tremendous help around the house, assisting with daily household tasks and errands, always proactively and with great care. She is dependable, organized, and takes pride in helping our household run smoothly. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!
