Hello, My name is Tara Considine and I am currently seeking a part-time babysitting/caregiving job. I am a Special Education Teacher at the Ivy Street School in Brookline, MA. Here I teach youth with moderate disabilities. I have experience working with students with brain injuries, developmental delays, neurological impairments, mood disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. Working with youth with special needs is my passion. I also have had experience working at Bright Horizons, an early education center. I have babysat for families in the past. I am a certified infant, toddler, and preschool teacher, and have certifications in first aid and CPR. I have had several jobs that required CORI background checks. I can provide references upon request. I am available in afternoons/evenings, after 3:30pm. I can also work weekends. I am especially interested in working with children with special needs.
Trust & safety
We encourage parents to conduct their own screenings using the background check tools. See what each of the badges covered, or learn more about keeping your family safe by visiting the Trust & Safety Center.
