A little bit about me

Hi there!
My name is Talia (Tal) and I am a recent Smith College grad with over 10 years of experience in childcare now. Starting as a multi-year trained residential camp counselor, to taking collegiate-level classes in early development, to working in two elementary schools, to now working privately for families with little ones, I am passionate about the quality of care I offer to families with significant experience to back it up. As a thoughtful, playful and observational caretaker, I am looking for a family who I can nourish a warm and trusting relationship with. If you feel like this could be a good fit, please feel free to reach out and I would be happy to elaborate further on my experience and offer references. I looking forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Tal
