Meet Taryn

Hi, I am Taryn! I have been babysitting since 2015. In 2020, I nannied for a 9yo and 5yo for a few months. After that, I nannied for 3 children for 2 years. Following that experience, I took a job as a behavioral technician, so I have been making a living from solely childcare for 4 years. I would like to nanny again. I have cared for up to 4 children, ranging from 4 months to 14 years old. I like to engage the children in whatever interests them, but I also try to incorporate new activities and get outside. I am physically active and able to keep up with high energy children, but I also enjoy reading, painting, and crafting. As a behavioral technician, I have learned how to teach new skills and appropriately respond to tantrums and aggression. I try to encourage children to understand their emotions and Read more learn independence skills, where it’s appropriate and necessary. I am looking for a full time, consistent job. I can work with all ages. I have a car. I’m comfortable with doing housework, meal prepping, running errands, toilet training, facilitating nap or bed time, overseeing playdates, and any other reasonable requests relating to childcare. Safety is very important to me, and I am CPR certified. I value clear communication with parents to ensure everyone’s expectations are being met.
