A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Taryn McCutcheon. I am 27 years young. I played basketball at Michigan State so I have been working with children-including coaching, mentoring, and babysitting- for a long time! I love children, pets, cooking, baking, and art.

I have a mental health blog and I am also a certified Yoga and Meditation Instructor. I was a nanny for a young girl who grew up watching me play basketball. I helped with her on and off from age 7-12 and even went with the family on vacation. I miss working with kids, so I am looking for a job that allows me to do what I love.

I have a lot of love and energy to give, so it is extremely important to me that I am able to be active, creative, and adventurous with my kids.

I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was a nanny for a family with one little girl for about 5 years on and off. (Reference available upon request) Before that, I babysat when I had free time in high school. Throughout college and after, I mentored a lot of children- spending a lot of time coaching, watching after them at camps, and sometimes being asked to come babysit or mentor privately.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading, baking, cooking, doing art, and playing pretend. I have a lot of fun teaching kids how to cook and bake. I also love being outside. I want to have my own garden when I settle down. I love all animals, even most bugs, so playing with kids outside is the best! I am also a yoga and meditation teacher, and took some classes in kids yoga so this is something else I would love to contribute in some way if desired.

The most important part about being a nanny...

That my kids feel loved and safe under my care. I want to show them all the magic and kindness in this world while still being an example of a disciplined and hard working human. I hope to always be someone they will remember and look up to.

My experience with special needs children...

I used to work with the high school program to help kids with Autism learn in classrooms. Overall, this is not something I have extensive experience in, however my degree in Neuroscience and Psychology has helped me learn a lot about things like Autism, ADHD, ADD and like challenges. I am also very open to learn and gain further knowledge if necessary.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I started to spend more and more time with Megan, the little girl I nannied, she told me she always wanted a sister and now she felt like she had one. Moments like these will never leave my heart. I just hope to bring a sense of love and safety to every kid I have the honor of meeting.
That same little girl grew into a too-cool 13 year old and gets embarrassed if I show up uninvited to surprise her in front of her friends. I guess I really am a big sis.
