I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,
“Tara was prompt, took directions well and very pleasant. My kids really liked and enjoyed her.”

Tiayanna $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Tiayanna (T-T to the littles’) I’m a 28 year old, in school and a mom! I am a well experienced nanny/caretaker with about 8 years experience. I’m looking for a new family for a few days out of the week while my children are in school. My classes are online, so I am very flexible with scheduling. I have been a head teacher at Wee-Care Childcare center for over 2 years, then turned over to nannying and have been a helping hand for families ever since! As a more experienced nanny I was able to care for the sweetest of newborn cuties to the most fun and active 4 year olds. Our days would consist of daily walks to the park to play with our friends in the neighborhood, trips to fun outdoor places. We would also have craft days and indoor activities that are so fun and creative all while developing appropriate skills! I help prepare lunches, transportation like to and from school and nap time. I also help the parents with light house work like laundry, dishes and just keeping everything tidy. I’m also a mother so I like to think I just have a motherly feel. Im very bubbly, energetic and have a caring personality that always makes the kids feel loved! And mostly, RELIABLE. Im looking for a long-time family so if you’re interested, I hope we are the right fit for each other!
