About Tamara

Hello! I have officially been babysitting/nannying since I was 14. I grew up as one of 5 children. As an older sibling, I was my family's built-in babysitter for my youngest siblings on weekends when my parents went on dates and then that's when I started babysitting for neighbors, family friends and referrals. I was an official nanny for over 3 consecutive years. I stopped nannying in 2017 when the current family I worked for moved away. I have been working in the insurance industry since 2017 while babysitting for a family on the days I had off from my corporate job since 2018 and still currently work for them occasionally. I've tried myself in the business world and would love to get back into what I love doing full-time and what I also prefer over an office job. I'm very patient and kind and passionate about making sure children are heard/understood, loved and cared for. I live with my wonderful husband of 2 years in Arlington Heights and can't wait to find the best fit!
