About Taja
Experience: 10 yrs

Hi Families; cheerful, enthusiastic sitter here! I love music and play a little piano. I produce a radio show two nights a week. I would love to share my enthusiasm with your children. I enjoy reading Ernest Hemingway but we'll start your child/children with a classic Dr. Seuss. I love being outdoors! I'm pretty much an activities, activities, activities person. My family is from the islands and I pride myself on my heritage, another cool thing about myself I'd love for your child/children to experience. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I've been a sitter for 6 years and love nothing more than the relationships made with each child/family. Hope pretty soon we can call each other friends. Talk to you soon. :)

When calling on references for the final candidates I had selected to watch my daughter, I had two other families tell me Taja was a lifesaver or the best thing to happen to their family! With great reviews like those we hired Taja and couldn't have been happier with our time together! Taja began working with our daughter when she was 18 months and stayed with us for a year, ending due to our family relocation to another state. Our daughter adored Taj and we were extremely happy to find someone reliable, energetic, nurturing and fun. I worked from home while Taj watched our daughter in our house. They spent all day playing, singing, dancing, reading books, doing crafts and laughing. It was so wonderful to hear the fun they were having and to know our daughter was loved by her caregiver. Taja was always willing to work extra hours or on weekends if needed and it was so nice to never worry about our daughter's care, to know she was in safe hands and having a great time. We know that Taj will make another family as happy and relaxed as she made us. We are thankful for all that she did us and are happy to call her a friend that we still keep in regular contact with.
