Greetings Perspective Families! My name is Tara and I am a 34 year old licensed teacher (Early Childhood- Grade 8). In addition to caring/nannying for newborns, infants and teenagers, I have also cared for an adult with Downs Syndrome. I have 9 years of teaching experience ranging from Preschool, Kindergarten, First Grade, Third Grade, Fourth Grade and Seventh Grade. I also have had the pleasure of working with and teaching children overseas in Japan. I am CPR and First Aid Trained, although I do need to update my certificate. I am currently licensed to teach in Texas, Maine and Montana. I currently hold a B.A in Elementary Education with a minor in Drama. I would describe myself as caring, trustworthy, observant, intuitive, creative and loving. I enjoy taking care of my wonderful dogs, traveling, hiking and spending time with friends and family. I have always loved children and enjoyed seeming Read more them grow and thrive in various capacities. I knew I wanted to make it my career at the young age of fifteen, and have continued to explore all the different ways I can make a difference in children's lives. If I sound like a good fit for your family please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!
