A little bit about me

I am a singer/songwriter/artist, I love all things creative! I also love to cook and bake (and have been told I’m very good at it) and I love children. I have experience as a babysitter, and watching kids from infants to 12 yrs old. I also have experience in elderly care and petsitting, so if you have pets additionally that you need care for, that is no issue for me! I have tutored children in the past in both general education and music. My only current issue is my lack of access to a car, so as long as you don’t need someone to pick your kids up from school, I can do whatever else you need me to!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tatyana and I’m passionate about nurturing and supporting children in their growth. With over four years of teaching experience across grades K–8, I bring a strong foundation in education, child development, and classroom management to my role as a nanny. I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which together have given me both the practical skills and deep understanding of children’s emotional and cognitive needs.
Im not only comfortable helping with homework and structuring enriching activities, but I’m also trained to recognize developmental milestones, provide positive reinforcement, and create a safe, engaging environment. I genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages and take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and their families. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and love for children into a home setting where I can make a meaningful difference each day.
