Experienced and Caring Nanny with a Background in Nutrition and Child Development Hi, I’m Tara, a dedicated caregiver with 14 years of childcare experience and two bachelor’s degrees in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. My background uniquely qualifies me to support children with special diets and allergies, ensuring they receive proper nourishment while thriving in a loving and structured environment. I have worked with children in various settings, from full-time nannying to paid and volunteer childcare in churches. I currently work as a SNAP-Ed Nutrition Educator, providing nutrition and cooking classes to children and adults as well as participating in public health initiatives. Other than nutrition, children have been at the heart of my work. My journey started when I began volunteering in my church nursery at 12 years old, and since then, I’ve cultivated a deep passion for fostering enriching experiences for kids. I also have volunteer experience with children Read more facing SED and trauma, providing compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. I believe in active, engaged caregiving, whether it's exploring the park, pool, or zoo, making up dances, playing educational games, or kids' favorite sports. I’m reliable and highly organized, happy to assist with household management tasks such as grocery shopping, laundry, organizing children's seasonal clothing, meal prep, and tidying up after little ones. I have three excellent references from recent childcare positions who can speak to my dedication and experience. I would love to bring my expertise and warmth to a family seeking a nurturing and structured caregiver. Let’s connect!
