Hi, My name is Tami. I've been able to have the opportunity to have had a variety of experiences which has allowed for a wide range of skill sets. Along with a wide range of skill sets my age has allowed for maturity and patience. I started babysitting at the age of 11 and carried this through into several Nanny jobs while in college. I had the opportunity of teaching in a preschool/toddler classroom for about 12 years(in total), also spending time in the infant room and my favorite the toddler classrooms! Those classrooms were integrated with special need programs as well. I've also had other job experiences that required more administrative skill sets. I stepped down from a residential supervisor position of a group home, in December 2012. This position was very demanding which honed in on skills of being capable to multitask and the ability to handle almost any type of emergency. I think you will Read more find my skills, my personality and my enjoyment of being around children as asset. I do currently have my certification for Early Education. Easy to work with. Looking forward to talking with you and will provide more information when needed. Currently CPR and First Aid Certified. I have not run a background check on myself currently as they expire so quickly. They are only good for so long and given my past work and volunteer experiences, this has been done many times. I have volunteered at our Church Sunday School Programs, Special Olympics CT chapter, Volunteer at PAWS Cat/Kitten Shelter. References are available upon request

My girls love Tami. She is great with them. Every time she comes, my daughters are excited to see what kind of fun activity she has brought for them to do. She is helpful around the house and is willing to help with anything I may need. She has been very flexible with my crazy schedule and I cannot say enough good things about her.
