My name is Tara and by day, I'm a school psychologist at a middle school in Natick, helping support growing minds and learning every day from their creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience. By night (and weekends, and whenever you need me), I'm looking forward to supporting local families. Outside of work, you can find me watching/discussing new films, spending time with my younger brother, running along the Charles River (I'm definitely a fairweather runner :-)), and attempting new recipes!

​

I have a MA and Ed.M. degree from Columbia University in child development and school psychology and eight years of professional experience in education at the K-12 level. Before this, I attended Northeastern University where I have a BA in Psychology.

 

I also have over 10 years of nanny/babysitting. I'm fully vaccinated, CPR/First Aid certified, and have a car. My experiences with families and children include developmental disabilities, special education, and mental health challenges. Whether it's creating a cozy reading nook or navigating the tricky terrain of tantrums, I'm excited to meet your family!
