My name is Tara Anne, a dedicated and reliable caretaker from Newmarket, with over five years of experience. I can confidently provide babysitting, tutoring, and nanny services for children of all ages, ranging from newborns to those who are over 10 years old. In addition to childcare, I am willing to perform a variety of duties to assist your family. This includes cooking, light housekeeping, running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and laundry. I can also support with children's homework and adhere to special dietary rules. My experience extends to event planning and managing other household staff. Notably, I am comfortable and experienced in working with children with special needs. Providing nurturing and patient care is a key part of my approach. I am also happy to work with a family having up to three children. I value health and safety, so I have completed First Aid and CPR Training. Along with these certificates, I am working towards my Bachelor's degree in Social Work, showing my commitment to education and development. Regarding my schedule, I am flexible and available during the afternoon, evening, and night from Monday to Friday. On weekends, I am available from morning until evening. I am ready to start immediately on a part-time and live-out basis. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
