A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tashana, and I’m a 23-year-old full-time college student currently pursuing my Secondary English degree with the goal of becoming a teacher. Because my classes are fully online, I have open and flexible availability throughout the day, allowing me to be fully present and dependable for the families I support. I’ve been around children my entire life, starting with babysitting for family members and friends. I’m also a proud aunt to nine amazing kids, five girls and four boys, who truly mean the world to me. Spending time with them has helped shape my patience, creativity, and genuine love for childcare. Professionally, I have extensive experience working in educational and childcare environments, including daycare settings and schools. I’ve closely worked with infants, preschoolers, first graders, fifth graders, and high school students. This range has made me highly adaptable, attentive to developmental needs, and comfortable supporting children at every stage.
