A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tiana and I’ve had ample experience with children of all ages. I have been a live in Au Pair for a family in Australia, and have worked with other families consistently as their children have grown up. I recently renewed my First Aid/CPR certification, I have my degree in Public Health, and have worked numerous jobs from summer camps, daycares, and as an assistant for the department of child safety. When I was in college, I volunteered for the non profit Aviva Children’s services, and ran fundraisers like hygiene or undergarment drives. I am hoping to find a family that I can work with part time - and that I can forge a long lasting relationship with. 🤗
