About Tara

Experience: 8 yrs

I have a BA from UCLA in theater, 6+ years experience as an LAUSD elementary school substitute teacher, and extensive experience working with and performing for children. I have years of experience with children ages 3 and up. I love kids, and aim to create an engaging, creative, and safe environment with all the kids I've taught or babysat. I encourage healthy activities like playing active games outside. I can also tutor, specializing in writing, editing, K-12 math, and help with homework in general. I'm also a safe driver and comfortable with basic First Aid.

I couldn’t think of a better person to take care of and influence my child. Tara is so outgoing, smart, kind, caring, responsible and amazing with all humans, not just kids. Your child is in great hands. She is a great listener and is able to adapt to each child’s needs and strengths. Consider yourself lucky to have Tara in your corner!
