A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Tamara, a recent UCSB graduate with a degree in Psychological & Brain Sciences and over 8 + years of childcare experience. I’ve always loved working with children and have experience caring for children of different ages, including children with autism and developmental disabilities. I also have personal experience supporting my brother, who is on the autism spectrum, and volunteered at San Jose Day Nursery, where I worked with infants and young children.
I’m a warm, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys getting to know each child and making them feel comfortable, cared for, and supported. I’d love the opportunity to help your family with date nights, evenings, or weekend care! I have a valid California driver’s license and clean driving record. I’m available weeknights after 6 PM and weekends anytime, and my rate is $25/hour.
