Meet Tami
27yrs
female
Speaks English
My name is Tami and I'm a 26-year-old originally from Milwaukee, WI. I'm fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine and am CPR certified. I grew up with a very close family friend who is differently-abled, and knew from an early age that this was the population I wanted to work with. I've spent many summers working at a summer camp for children with chronic and/or life threatening illnesses, and am very comfortable providing meals, personal care, social support, academic support, and any other type of support you may need! I know some basic ASL signs and the alphabet. I recently achieved my master's degree in Child Life. After certification I hope to become a Child Life Specialist, bridging the gap between the abled and differently-abled, ideally in a medical camp environment!

We feel so fortunate to have Tami as a sitter for our special needs 20-month-old daughter. Tami eased seamlessly into our daughter's routines and has willingly learned and introduced creative ways of playing and interacting with her. Tami is patient and loving -- even in the most difficult moments! Our daughter feels comfortable and happy with Tami, which is a testament to Tami's natural skill with children and her eagerness to go the extra mile to get to know our daughter. Tami is always professional, on time, and fun to be around. We highly recommend her to any family!
