A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ta’sha, I’m 20 years old, and I’m a licensed esthetician. Before that, I was a makeup artist and an all-around creative. I love incorporating art into everything I do— it keeps life fun and expressive! I believe creativity is a transferable skill that not only helps in the workplace but also in connecting with people, especially kids. I enjoy bringing a sense of imagination, patience, and care into every environment I’m part of.

A little bit about me

I have been a nanny since the early 2000's. I graduated nursing school but never pursued my degree due to my mother getting cancer and taking care of her. I then took care of kids and adult family members who had different illnesses. I love kids and would be happy to provide multiple family references of those I worked for.
