Meet Taisha
- Comfortable with pets
Hello, my name is Taisha. I hold a BA in Criminology with a focus in child advocacy. I also have a M.A. in Forensic Psychology with a strong discipline in children's rights. I've worked with 5 families in the past with children ranging from birth to 13 years old. When it comes to nannying, I like to think of myself as the deputy commander of a ship of sorts. The family is the boat, and the parents are the captains; I'm merely there to make sure that everything is smooth sailing when the leaders are unavailable. Whether that be getting the little ones to school on time, cooking dinner, going on imaginary dinosaur hunts, or maybe just sitting and listening while a child tells you about their day. I am a social worker for the child welfare center, with a specialty in foster care. At this time I am looking Read more for a part time, or occasional job opening.

Taisha was a great babysitter! Immediately made our (normally very antsy) 3 year old very comfortable, playing games, cracking jokes, singing songs. Was also wonderful with our 9 month old. Would happily recommend her.
