Greetings! I am excited to be considered for your childcare needs. I have been a stay-at-home parent for a 2 and 4-year-old and will begin homeschooling them in the fall. With over 14 years of childcare experience, I have developed a strong focus on Montessori-style learning and development, specifically for infants through toddler years. My home is filled with a variety of toys and activities to implement this approach effectively. I’m also willing to come to your home as well. Safety is a top priority for me, and I am CPR and first aid certified, with a clean driving record. Moreover, I have a spacious SUV that can easily accommodate an extra car seat. I would be delighted to discuss further details with you and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your little one!

I highly recommend Tara, who has provided outstanding support to my family over the past few months. Since beginning her role, Tara has demonstrated her strong organizational abilities and excellent communication skills when setting up and coordinating pickups for my child. She is always punctual and reliable, proven time and time again through detailed pickup plans, route monitoring, and on-time arrival. In addition to her punctuality, Tara provides thoughtful plans and keeps close communication during each transport. She would be an excellent resource for any family needing help with transportation services or childcare. Tara not only gets my kid to and from activities safely but does so with a friendly, caring demeanor. She has been invaluable in assisting my busy family. I confidently recommend Tara for any job involving transportation or care duties, as her commitment to service and safety are second to none.
