About Tara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I'm a professional nanny in the Grand Rapids area and I'm seeking my next family to care for long term position beginning fall 2025 as the current family I'm contracted with will be transitioning to daycare at that time. I was employed by my previous family for 3 years and enjoyed my time with them immensely but it was time for them to transition out of my care and into preschool. :) I have an education background in child development and stay up to date on current child safety guidelines. I have good judgement regarding safety risks and child illnesses, and I communicate clear boundaries with children while remaining patient and even-tempered. I have good communication skills with parents and will pour affection on your precious little kiddos! I am happy to provide reference phone numbers for my previous employers, who can share more about their experience with me.

We hired Tara to watch our 17 month old daughter and she was wonderful with her! Our daughter really took to Tara and enjoyed spending time with her. She brought puzzles, books and bubbles for her to play with. I appreciated her one to one attention and how kind and thoughtful she was with our little one.
