Tai is more than just a caregiver, she's a true angel and here are just a few reasons why: -Her creativity and skills with children made us feel like we were attending the best private daycare in the world. -The activities she does are so enriching and developmentally stimulating for growing both gross and fine motor skills, and she did such a wide variety of activities with our daughter - clever things that we never even knew about! -Our daughter got more life experience at her age than we ever thought possible, being immersed in culture (like museums), education (library visits), languages (Tai spoke both Portuguese and English to our daughter), crafts, and other activities we never dreamed of. On a more personal note, our daughter struggled with severe separation anxiety right off the bat and we were gravely concerned that nobody would be able to help ease her discomfort. With Tai, our daughter transformed into the happiest, smiliest little girl and kicked with glee every day the second she saw Tai. We truly would've been lost without Tai, and we attribute all of our daughter's joy and beautiful growth & development to Tai's love and compassion for caring for infants and young children.
