Hi, my name is Tiara, though I go by T. I have worked as a babysitter for over three years and have absolutely loved it. I have worked with children as young as 4 months and oldest being 12, which I provide many activities to keep them entertained and happy. I have done event babysitting, late night care and parent assistant. I also have completed house work whilst caring. I have been labelled by previous clients as kind, responsible and caring but ultimately I just love what I do.
