Hi there! I’m Tara—thank you so much for considering me to care for your little ones. With 8 years of experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs, I bring a hands-on, nurturing, and energetic approach to childcare. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and your child’s safety, happiness, and growth are always my top priorities. I love making each day fun and meaningful—whether we’re crafting, doing spontaneous science experiments, playing games, or learning something new. I’m very involved and love engaging with kids through creativity and play. I’m currently a nursing student with hopes of working in labor and delivery or pediatrics, and I’ve also worked as a pediatric dental assistant and a childcare teacher. Supporting and caring for children is something I’m truly passionate about and see myself doing for life. I’d be honored to be a part of your family’s village!

Taranika has been absolutely wonderful keeping my baby boy safe and engaged with fun activities throughout the day. She has also been very sweet with my family and I can't thank her enough for all the effort she puts into taking care of my son. She is always early, very knowledgeable, and is extremely respectful when communicating with her. I would definitely hire her again!
