I’m a mom first. I know how I would want someone to treat my child. I also used to be a kindergarten and first grade teacher. I love children and I love being able to impact their life in a positive manner. I really love reading and playing games with children.

Booked by 1 family in Denton, TX

My childcare experience comes from raising my 3 adult children and spending time with our two grandchildren 6 & 11. We relocated to Texas to be closer to our children after they completed college and did not relocate back to Arizona. I have helped family friends with their children from birth. I briefly served as a child advocate for Maricopa County in AZ. Resigned after first case dealing with the death and placement of the children. My heart is always with the care and safety of the child as my first priority. Extra duties I am willing to do but not as a normal priority. As stated, my heart and care are for the children. My work experience has always been in the financial industry for over 30 years. Signing up to do childcare is heart felt. I don't mind pets as we have 2 Cane Corso's and a Frenchie. As stated previously, children are my priority.

She was extremely reliable.

Booked by 4 families in Denton, TX

Hi! My name is Tiara, and caring for children has been part of my life for many years. I’ve been around children of all ages from infancy through school age, which has helped me develop a patient, nurturing, and attentive approach. I have professional experience in daycare and early childhood programs, where I focused on creative play, fine motor activities, and age-appropriate routines. I also previously worked in a pediatric urgent care, supporting children and families and strengthening my ability to stay calm, reassuring, and attentive in fast-paced situations. I’m CPR certified and value creating a safe, engaging, and comfortable environment where children feel supported and at ease. I’m primarily available evenings after 3:30 PM and anytime on weekends, and I enjoy helping families with date nights and occasional care.
