Hello, my name is Tasha-Gaye. I have over seven years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and able to thrive. I take pride in fostering their growth, development, and overall well-being through attentive and compassionate care.

I am a K–12 certified educator with experience working in Montessori settings and teaching literacy and math across grade levels. I bring a calm, structured, and nurturing approach to caregiving and education. My background includes in-home instruction, supporting children with individualized learning needs, and helping families maintain organized, peaceful environments. I value clear communication, consistency, and creating safe, supportive spaces where children can thrive.

With over 15 years of experience in childcare, I am passionate about nurturing and supporting children’s growth and development in a safe and loving environment. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to adolescents, providing personalized care that meets their physical, emotional, and educational needs. My skills include creating engaging activities, supporting developmental milestones, and fostering positive behavior. I am dedicated to building strong relationships with both children and their families, ensuring open communication and a collaborative approach to each child’s care. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel valued, supported, and inspired to thrive.

I am a young college student who got into childcare as a side job, but I completely fell in love. Infants are my favorite age group, but I have experience working with children of all ages. My rates start at $20/hour for one child. I have worked for childcare facilities and families .I have also been a reliable babysitter on other babysitter platforms; I’m CPR certified; I also have my certificates in administration of medicine and also in health & safety training for child care professionals. My goal is to provide your child with a safe, routine-focused, and creative environment in which to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time, I love to read, do hair, and relax. I look forward to meeting you.

I have experience babysitting for multiple families, caring for children of different ages, and supporting their daily routines in a safe, fun, and structured environment. I'm responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy creating activities that keep kids engaged while also making sure they feel supported and comfortable! In addition to childcare, I was a peer mentor in college, where I helped guide and support fellow students academically and personally. That experience strengthened my communication skills and the ability to connect with others in a supportive and understanding way. I have a BFA in Musical Theater as well, so anything music or performing arts related I love to share/teach children. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and making sure they are well looked after. Overall, I'm dependable, caring, and I take pride in being someone families can trust!
