A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a dedicated, patient, and dependable caregiver seeking a long-term nanny position with a family I can grow alongside. I most recently worked as a teaching assistant in a special education preschool, where I supported children with a wide range of developmental needs in a structured, nurturing environment.

I bring a calm, consistent presence and believe in building strong routines while honoring each child’s individuality. My approach centers on emotional safety, positive reinforcement, and learning through play. I love incorporating creative activities like art, sensory play, music, and outdoor exploration to support development and curiosity.

Reliability and communication are very important to me, especially in a long-term role. I value forming trusting relationships with parents and becoming a steady, supportive part of a child’s life. Families describe me as attentive, compassionate, and someone they can truly count on.

A little bit about me

Hiii! My name is Tasia and I’ve had experience in early childcare since I was a child myself and started off babysitting. Eventually that turned into me becoming a daycare teacher, a preschool teacher, and a summer camp teacher. The youngest I’ve worked with is 1 week and the oldest I’ve worked with is 11 years old. I have worked with all types of kids such as children on the spectrum, behavioral, children with missing limbs and so much more. I have a passion in what I do because I believe I can change the world and make it better for all children which is why I’m currently working on obtaining my degree in early childhood education + special ed with a minor in business so I can one day run my own daycare.
