About Tara
Experience: 8 yrs
Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! I have worked in many areas of childcare from being a Nanny all the way to being a teacher in multiple daycare classrooms. One of the things I feel helps me stand out in this field is my experience in teaching. Allowing me to encourage age appropriate development in many areas such as gross and fine motor, cognitive development, social/emotional skills, and so much more! The main reason I've decided to leave the facilitated care world is because the teacher to child ratios that are maintained. I love to get to know the children and their families one on one offering a more personalized care. I feel this allows both the parents and child to feel more confident and comfortable with the care they are receiving.

Tara started with my family when my son was 3 months old and ended with us almost 2 years later. We would have continued, but she had a new bundle of her own 😊 She was nothing short of amazing with our little guy! She came in and hit the ground running, while new mama cried herself to work. She sent us pictures and updates all the time! This was such comforting communication. Tara is knowledgeable about… well, everything to do with babies. She taught me SO much in the first year of being a mom. She has a very caring heart, compassionate, patient, and always joyful and positive – even on the tough days. We started with two babies and added a third when the kids were around one and a half. She handled three toddlers with ease and we truly trusted that she put them first in every situation. Tara had a very regimented routine; breakfast, some circle time, out to the park or story time at the library, come back for lunch, naps, snack, and then pickup. They were always outside doing something. They did not sit around the house all day long, and we loved that about her. We knew our son was getting lots of socialization, which most people worry about with a nanny/nanny share. OH! And speaking of naps! She was the one that helped sleep train our son. This was magical. Ultimately, we all loved Titi!! She was the light of their lives for almost three years. Every day, we knew our babies were loved and protected and we couldn't have asked for anything more! Tara made a tremendous impact on all of us.
