A little bit about me
I have been working in childcare ever since I was young. From baby sitting positions starting in middle school, and even earlier when helping my mom with my special needs little brother. Since then I have had 7 years of experience working for daycares and nannying for families.
I love to spend time outside every day, and being from Montana, I am used to dealing with a large variety of weather. I don't let a little bit of cold or rain stop us from having fun. I also love buckling kids up and taking them to activities, whether that be lessons and practice, or fun outside the house; like the library, swimming, or whatever else the area has to offer.
My current nanny family is moving away in the summer, but I'm excited for the opportunity to help more families! Thank you for your time, and for considering me for the position!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Taya (Tay-uh) and I have been working as a swim instructor and lifeguard for about a year and a half. I have worked with age groups of 1 1/2 y/o-12 y/o. I usually work pretty well with kids aged 2-8 as I can easily get them to warm up to me pretty fast. Some of my strong suits are my communication, my certifications, and my sense of understanding. Some of my weaknesses are my forgetfulness, procrastination, and my avoidance of conflict but i can’t tell assure you that these weaknesses won’t majorly affect my work ethic. I am currently in Highschool and plan to go to school to become an elementary teacher after I graduate so not only would this give me great experience with children, it will help me understand them as people better.

A little bit about me
I am a warm, dependable, and connection-focused caregiver who believes children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to explore. My approach centers around play-based learning, outdoor time, and building strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for. I love supporting curiosity through imaginative play, creative activities, and hands-on experiences while also providing gentle structure and consistency. I value open communication with parents and strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where children can grow emotionally and socially. Because my husband will be away for military training, my two daughters (5 and almost 3) will be with me, creating a natural, social setting where kids can learn friendship and cooperation. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating meaningful connections while helping families feel supported and at ease.
