Hello! My name is Tanya, and I have a deep passion for working with children. With experience caring for kids of various ages, I strive to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I understand the importance of patience, creativity, and consistency in childcare, and I always aim to provide dependable and loving care. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a structured and safe routine, I am committed to making each day a positive experience for both children and parents. I am currently pursuing a career in education/healthcare, with the long-term goal of opening my own daycare. My love for working with children extends beyond just babysitting it’s about building meaningful connections and supporting their development in every way possible. If you’re looking for a caring and responsible provider who will treat your little ones like family, I’d love the opportunity to connect!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!
