Tamara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m a 4th grade teacher with over 10 years of childcare experience, and I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — and I bring my classroom experience into every sitting job, whether it’s helping with homework, reading together, or keeping little ones engaged in creative play. Along with childcare, I’m also experienced in household management, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, and running errands. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and reliable, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 1 family in Olive Branch, MS

I am a mother of 4 with over 30 years of experience caring for my own children plus grandchildren. I have gone through a protection of children/virtus training and have to have frequent background checks with that. I am a loving caregiver that will also get in the floor to play with your kids. I love to take them outside for fresh air and am excellent when it comes to getting them on a nap schedule.
