A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tiarra Lane. I’m 18 years old, a recent high school graduate, and currently attending IU South Bend. Outside of my classes, I have open availability and a strong passion for working with kids.

I have tons of experience—not only through volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club after-school program and working at the Charles Black Center kids camp during the summer—but also from growing up with five younger siblings. I’ve helped care for them at every stage, so I know how to stay patient, flexible, and calm in a busy household.

I’m responsible, upbeat, and love creating a safe, fun, and caring environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, arts and crafts, outdoor play, or just being a supportive role model, I’m here to help your family however I can!

Feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a mother of a 2year old, I’m currently a college student studying to become a medical assistant. I have previously worked as a nanny for a couple years and I loved it! I love working with kids and being able to develop a great relationship with them! I find it very important to give excellent care when working with kids of all ages, considering I myself am a mother and know the struggles of leaving your baby with a stranger! I would be honored to be able to care for your child or children!
