Booked by 1 family in Shady Side, MD

Hi! My name is Talia, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, along with my CDA Pre-K Certification, Infant and Toddler Certification, and many other certifications related to childcare and development. I have hands-on experience as a nanny, homeschool support, and have also worked as both an infant teacher and a Pre-K teacher. Working with children truly brings me so much joy, it’s such a beautiful experience being part of their growth, imagination, and everyday little moments. I’m very fun, patient, and bubbly, and I love creating engaging days filled with play, learning, creativity, and lots of positive energy. I enjoy building genuine connections with families and children ensuring that they feel happy, safe, and excited throughout our time together. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal prepping to help support your home and daily routine. I’m currently open to short-term and occasional care and would love to bring that same warmth and energy to your family!

I have a wealth of experience working with children, spanning from my hometown to my current role as a nanny for two spirited children. My background encompasses caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I pride myself on being patient, adaptable, and nurturing while maintaining strong organizational skills. I understand that caring for children can be challenging, but I always strive to meet the unique needs of each family. I am passionate about fostering creativity through screen-free activities such as music, dance, and arts and crafts, ensuring a fun and enriching environment. Additionally, I have a clean driving record, my own vehicle, and hold certifications in CPR and first aid, giving you peace of mind when it comes to your children's safety and well-being.
