ONLY AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER 2024- June 24th-August 24th Hello my name is Tara Rooks and I am currently a middle school dance teacher and seasoned nanny. I grew up babysitting and assisting dance classes. I obtained a BFA in dance from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro in 2019 and through teaching dance discovered I have a passion for sharing my love of dance and working with children. After graduation I moved to Australia where I worked as an international live-in nanny(Au pair) for two families. I helped care for 6mo twin girls, 7mo little boy, 2yr, 4yr, and 6yr old during my time abroad which gave me experience and insight in several different developmental ages. This past year I worked full time as a dance teacher and was a part time nanny for 6mo twin girls. I am proficient in light household cleaning, studying and assisting with homework, and love Read more to plan crafts or outdoor adventures. I have my own vehicle and I am Covid vaccinated with booster. I have experience teaching and caring for children ages 6 months to 17 years and every age in between. I am so passionate about working with children and would love to help look after your little ones!

Tara is amazing. She just moved and we miss her terribly already! Tara was always on time, responsive, is incredibly patient, fun and kind. My twins absolutely adored her and would light up every time they saw her. I felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. Highly, highly recommend!
