Hello! I'm a loving, caring, dependable, and protective mother from Virginia who understands the anxiety and stress of finding someone you can truly trust with your child. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm currently attending college to earn my degree in Elementary and Special Education. I also work as a Special Education Assistant and Behavior Technician, where I support children with a variety of learning, behavioral, and developmental needs. These experiences have strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to provide individualized care for every child. I helped raise my niece from infancy, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for young children. My mom transports children with special needs to and from school, field trips, and activities, and I grew up helping alongside her. This allowed me to learn about the unique Read more needs, personalities, and strengths of children ages 3 and older from an early age. I am also the proud mom of two wonderful children, ages 13 and 4. They are my world, and being their mom has taught me the value of creating a loving, structured, and nurturing environment. Our home is clean, safe, and welcoming, with plenty of toys and space for children to learn, play, and have fun. I offer babysitting in my home or in your home, depending on your family's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while giving parents the peace of mind they deserve. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can trust with your little ones!

Taj is great with my daughter! She has only been there a short time and I can tell she really loves it! Her son is so sweet and my daughter loves to play with him. As an added bonus Taj does her hair better than I do! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter! Kennita
