My name is Tabitha, I am an honors college student majoring in finance with the patience and passion for childcare. Through the years I have been referred to as a child magnet, having the innate ability to acknowledge and connect with children wherever I go. I guess that’s one of the perks of being the eighth and final child. As an adolescent I volunteered most my time and service to babysitting until I became old enough to work in these settings. From live-in nanny, to daycare staff, to tutor, each experience had an array of different skills that immersed from them. This allows me to maintain safety and provide the best service in any environment regardless of the circumstances. Oh! and I absolutely love what I do.
