Provided childcare for families with children ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Worked as a classroom assistant at my synagogue for two years, assisting with children ages 7–8, collaborating with the teacher to help teach the Hebrew language and about Jewish culture. Served as a camp counselor for two years, supervising children ages 6–8 and ensuring their safety and well-being during both indoor and outdoor activities. Worked with children ages 2–4 in my high school preschool program, helping lead educational and developmental learning activities. Volunteered at Camp Jenny - an organization that gives children from an impoverished community an overnight summer camp experience that includes a variety of activities, sports and team-building exercises. At Camp Jenny, I was responsible for overnight care and supervision of children ages 7–8 and assisted with daily camp activities and routines. I would describe myself as a very loyal, flexible and responsible person who’s easygoing and enjoys creating a comfortable, positive environment. I like doing simple, fun things like game nights or movies nights in, and I’m always open to learning new things and trying new experiences. I am dependable, adaptable, and I try to bring calm and friendly energy wherever I am!
I have always loved kids, the imagination, the creativity, makes me feel young again! I grew up watching my little cousins since I was 12 so I’ve got experience with girls and boys. I have had no less than 4 pets growing up so I have lots of experience with animals, as well! I currently have a miniature dachshund, we got her after my boxer died so I do well with little to big dogs and I grew up with lots of cats, and I’ve watched birds before too!

I am 46 years old and have over 20 years of experience working with children from infancy through age 17. My background includes serving as a Prevention Specialist, where I taught Interpersonal Cognitive Problem Solving (ICPS) skills to preschoolers ages 3 and 4.

“Tamara, has been great at showing love and care to our baby boy! She is very patient and understanding with us since we are new parents and are very particular. She is also very professional and allows us to feel safe while she is caring for our baby boy. We are very blessed to have connected with her! ”
I go to college at University of South Florida and I am in school to become an elementary teacher! When I was in middle school up to my sophomore year of high school I would volunteer at my old daycare and was a teacher assistant. I am very passionate about becoming a teacher and working with children is my favorite thing to do. I loved playing with and creating lesson plans for the younger children and it inspired me to become a teacher.
“Armani was a great sitter. She was communicative, caring and our little one said he had a great time with her. ”
