About Tara

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Tara, a credentialed secondary science teacher with a Master of Education and 12+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I've worked as a teacher, substitute teacher, volleyball coach, tutor, and caregiver, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. As a single mom, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable and trustworthy. I have experience caring for newborns through teenagers, including multiple children, and I'm happy to help with homework, meals, transportation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. I also have experience caring for seniors. I have completed extensive fingerprinting and background checks through Palm Springs Unified School District and am certified in Adult/Child/Infant CPR, First Aid, AED, and Red Cross Lifeguarding. References are available upon request. I look forward to meeting your family!
