About Taran
Experience: 4 yrs
I love children & spending time in nature. Below is a bit about me: I was born and raised in San Francisco, went to undergrad in Western Mass, and now live in East Barnard. As the eldest among my siblings (with an age gap of 7 & 14 years), I helped to care for them more than a similar aged sibling might. This experience led me to part-time nanny during college, where in Amherst, MA I cared for a 4-year-old and her newborn infant brother. In undergrad, I also worked part time as a lifeguard. Post-grad I worked in graphic design full-time for five years, with clientele in tech & philanthropy. The past year I worked for a farm to table operation (Fable Farm) in Barnard. I also worked as interim assistant & designer for Green Mountain Linen (a fiber based org local to East Barnard Vermont.) My hobbies include anything outdoors (hiking, skiing, swimming, gardening). I am also interested in fiber crafts (knitting, crocheting, spinning) and reading.

Taran is kind and attentive when caring for my child. She listens and speaks to him respectfully and has smart solutions in challenging situations. I would highly recommend Taran to a family looking for a responsible caregiver!
