Hello! My name is Thamara. I have been a child caregiver for a little over 10 years. I have taken care of ages from newborn to 15 year olds. I earned a Bachelors in Psychology to further my knowledge when working with and helping others. My goal is to become a Family and Marriage Therapist. I use my knowledge from my psychology degree to help me understand the developmental stages and the importance our influence has on children. I have always had a passion working with children and I love that I can apply my passion into a career. I have worked with multiple children at once and I am comfortable having pets around. I have my own vehicle to get me to work and help with any errands needed. I am experienced in preparing meals, helping with house chores, doing laundry, bedtime routines, toilet training, driving children, running errands, Read more helping with homework, and helping when kids are sick. I would describe myself as a firm, but nurturing nanny. My firm qualities have to do with the priority of safety and the respect of boundaries. I am CPR certified and I am attentive to the children I watch. I believe respect goes both ways. For the child and myself. The nurturing qualities bring patience, enthusiasm, kindness, and a gentle approach. Children deserve patience especially in a time of rapid growth. The kindness and gentle approach for daily activities brings out a positive environment that I think is deserving whether it’s a tough situation or a happy one. My goal is to create a safe, but enthusiastic experience for the family. I enjoy being creative by making up fun games, creating crafts, and playing with the children. I will try to apply appropriate developmental learning in games or crafts when it seems fit. I like to keep kids active by going on walks, playing outside/inside, or going to a park(with parents permission). I am available Monday to Friday. I am flexible to watch kids occasionally for date nights.
