A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tashawna Lombard. I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with over three years of providing care and support to families, including children with special needs. Most recently, I handled pick-up and drop-off responsibilities for a child throughout the summer. I’m also a parent of two children, ages 15 and 12, and the oldest of six siblings, which has strengthened my nurturing, organizational, and leadership skills. Professionally, I worked for seven years as a medical assistant at Maimonides Hospital in cardio thoracic care, and I am currently furthering my education to become a respiratory therapist. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for children.

"Tashawna is warm, responsible, and incredibly attentive. She has consistently demonstrated patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development. Whether it was helping with homework, organizing enriching activities, or simply being a comforting presence, Tashawna always put my daughter's needs first. Her ability to balance structure with kindness helped Sky thrive in a safe, nurturing environment. Beyond her childcare skills, Tashawna is reliable, punctual, and communicates clearly and professionally. She quickly became more than just a nanny—she became a valued member of our family. Any family would be lucky to have Tashawna as part of their household. I recommend her without hesitation and am happy to provide further details if needed."

"I am writing this reference for Tashawna Lombard, who babysat my son when he was five years old. She always did what was needed of her and made sure my child was well cared for. My son was always clean, comfortable, and happy while in her care. Tashawna was very responsible and made sure to ask questions if there was anything she was unclear about. She showed great attention to detail, especially by asking right away if my son had any allergies or health concerns. She also helped with his daily routines and showed patience and care while looking after him. I recommend Tashawna as a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. She is thoughtful, responsible, and makes children feel safe and well taken care of."

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have over three years of hands-on experience caring for children, including assisting families with daily routines, pick-ups, and drop-offs. I have also provided care for children with special needs. In my professional experience as a medical assistant at Maimonides Hospital, I cared for pediatric patients who underwent surgery, supporting them during checkups and helping them feel comfortable and safe. These experiences have strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to create a nurturing environment for children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor Activities:

I engage children in arts and crafts, reading, educational games, board games, puzzles, and imaginative play. I also help with homework and encourage creative, hands-on learning.

Outdoor Activities:

I enjoy taking kids to parks, playgrounds, and nature walks. I organize games like tag, catch, or obstacle courses, and promote physical activity while ensuring safety and fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me as a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children feel valued and encouraged to learn, play, and grow. I take pride in helping families by providing reliable care and fostering positive experiences that build confidence, independence, and happiness in every child.

My experience with special needs children...

I have hands-on experience caring for a child with autism, providing support with daily routines, pick-ups, and drop-offs. I focus on patience, structure, and individualized attention to ensure the child feels safe, understood, and supported. I am attentive to their unique needs and work closely with parents to maintain consistency and routine.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was seeing the child I cared for gain confidence and independence. I remember helping her complete a small task she struggled with, and watching her beam with pride, it reminded me how rewarding it is to nurture growth and celebrate every milestone.
