About Tamara

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a mom of two kids, 27 and 15 and a 9-year-old grandson. I have 20 years of experience providing care for children ages 0-11 in the school system and at home. I have a passion for helping children learn and grow, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love playing games and coming up with fun activities that promote learning and development. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules and routines, and I always follow the parents' preferred communication method. I'm happy to help with cooking and meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I have First Aid Training, Early Childhood Education (ECE) certification, and I've taken coursework in Early Child Development. I'm a great fit for families who want a reliable, experienced caregiver who will provide their children with the love, care, and attention they need. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

I had a conference with over night stays and couldn't take my 1 year old with me. I had never left her overnight with anyone except her Dad without me. I was nervous but, Tamara did an exceptional job actively engaging with her that it seemed she didn't even notice Mom was gone. She took many photos to give me peace of mind. Safe, gentle, experienced and most definitely went above and beyond to play with and engage with my daughter. Highly recommend.
