Booked by 4 families in Fort Washington, PA

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.

Hello my name is Latasha. I am a mother of two young adults. I have much experience with all people from all ages; ranging from new born to seniors. My main focus of work these days are with babies ages newborn to toddlers. I love kids and babysitting in general. I am not a grandmother yet, I am the auntie and godmother that ever body loves! I worked with head start to high schoolers. I am very active and outgoing. My children keep me young! I enjoy outside activities such as walking and going to the park. I also enjoy singing songs and other exciting indoor and outdoor activities. I am patient, kind, and efficient. I also love animals! I have a cat name Lilly, who is near and dear to my heart!

Latasha was so sweet with our little boy. He's in a real separation anxiety phase and she dealt with it so lovingly and patiently. Will definitely contact her again! Thank you Latasha!!
