Hi there! I’m Tara—thank you so much for considering me to care for your little ones. With 8 years of experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs, I bring a hands-on, nurturing, and energetic approach to childcare. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and your child’s safety, happiness, and growth are always my top priorities. I love making each day fun and meaningful—whether we’re crafting, doing spontaneous science experiments, playing games, or learning something new. I’m very involved and love engaging with kids through creativity and play. I’m currently a nursing student with hopes of working in labor and delivery or pediatrics, and I’ve also worked as a pediatric dental assistant and a childcare teacher. Supporting and caring for children is something I’m truly passionate about and see myself doing for life. I’d be honored to be a part of your family’s village!
