Hi! My name is Ta'Niya. Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up helping care for my younger cousins and the children of family friends, giving me years of experience with children of all ages. Before joining the Navy, I worked in pediatrics for two years, and I currently serve as a Hospital Corpsman with EMT training. I am dependable, patient, nurturing, and energetic, and I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, play, and grow in a safe and positive environment. My medical background allows me to stay calm under pressure and prioritize safety while providing compassionate care. I also love animals and am comfortable caring for family pets, especially dogs. Families can trust that their children and pets are in caring, capable, and responsible hands.
TaNiya was fantastic! She was punctual, responsive and was great with both our 2 1/2 year-old and his dog. She clearly has lots of experience, and her calm confidence shows through immediately when you meet her. We would definitely hire her again!
