Hi, my name is Tara! I’m 22 years old, and I have been babysitting/nannying for about 9 years. Just a few little facts about me are that I am obsessed with cats, I have two named Eevie and Hallow (my babies), I enjoy writing and drawing and spend most of my free time doing that, and lastly I am the only girl out of 5 kids, and the youngest too! I have always loved babysitting and I started with watching my little cousins when I was about 13 for a few hours a day after school. From ages 15-19 I did a few small babysitting jobs, and the most recent nanny job I did (2019) was for three children - a 5 year old, 10 year old, and 9 month old. I was a live in nanny for half of the week, most weeks, and grew very close to this Read more family! After my services were no longer needed, I kept looking for any opportunity to babysit because I truly do love spending time with the kiddos and I am very big on developmental growth. I love doing activities and puzzles and reading to children to get their brains going! I am also close to, if not, the biggest disney/nickelodeon fan, so there’s no chance of getting bored if the kids want to watch a show! I think I do very well under pressure, and I’m skilled at multitasking. I’m very transparent and honest, and I have very strong morals. In my opinion being a nanny or babysitter is one of the most important jobs, and I can only imagine what it’s like having to trust a stranger, so I am here to offer full transparency and to assure you that your child is getting the best care possible, and that you can leave home knowing your child is in good hands and being cared for. I hope to hear from you and I’m open to answering any questions you may have!
